Care and Handling of Fiber Optic Cables
ATTENTION
When you handle these components, take normal precautions to prevent damage and/or degradation by electrostatic discharge (ESD). The small junction size of these components increases their susceptibility to damage from ESD.
Good system performance depends on clean port optics and cable ferrules, which keeps dust and small particles from blocking the optic path.
•When cables are not in use, keep the ends covered with the dust covers that came with the cables.
•To clean the ends of the cables, use either:
–compressed air
–one of the following cleaners on a lint and strand free cotton swab:
Alcohols | Aliphatics | Other |
|
|
|
methyl | hexane | soap solution |
|
|
|
isopropyl | heptane | naphtha |
|
|
|
isobutyl |
