2.Wipe clean the ends of the dual connectors with a soft cloth or lint-free lens tissue dampened in alcohol. Make certain the connectors are clean before connecting.

Note: One strand of the duplex fiber optic cable is coded using color bands at regular intervals; you must use the color-coded strand on the associated ports at each end of the fiber optic segment.
