SFP and Fibre Channel Cable Connector Cleaning Considerations

Optics are susceptible to anything that hinders light transmission. Consequently,

manufacturers of both 2-Gb Small Form Factor Pluggable Transceiver modules

(SFP) and Fibre Channel Cable Connectors provide dust covers to protect the optical

areas and ensure optical signal integrity for initial system configuration. If the fiber

optic interconnects are disengaged, the optical tips can be soiled by human touch,

damaged from dropping, or simply collect dust debris when exposed to the open air

for extended time periods. A contaminated optic tip may not be visible to the naked

eye and could potentially degrade performance of your system.
