Fiber-optic connectors are easily damaged when connected to dirty or damaged cables and accessories. The HP 86140 series’s front-panel INPUT connector is no exception. When you use improper cleaning and handling techniques, you risk expensive instrument repairs, damaged cables, and compromised measurements. Before you connect any fiber-optic cable to the HP 86140 series, refer to “Cleaning Connections for Accurate Measurements” on page 6-10.
