Note

Rub the ferrule tip on the cleaning surface in one direction only.

3.When you reach the end of the cleaning surface, pick up the ferrule tip, rotate and place it at the top and rub downwards at least 2 times.

Caution

Failing to pick up the ferrule tip when you reach the bottom of the cleaning surface can result in static electricity that can damage the fiber optic cable.

4.If desired, repeat steps 3 and 4.

5.If a fiber inspection scope is available, use the scope to inspect the ferrule end face to make sure that it is clean.

6.Reconnect the cable to the port or protect the ferrule tip with a dust cap.

Note

Always keep a dust cap on a fiber optic cable when it is not in use.

Note

Do not touch the end face of the ferrule in the connector.

Warning
