CLEANING PATCH MODULE CONNECTORS & ADAPTERS

The Patch Module adapters are mounted to a hinged bulkhead to allow access to both connectors on opposite sides of the adapters without having to open the rear cabinet door.

The performance of Patch Module optical fiber connectors or adapters depends, to a large degree, on the cleanliness of the connectors and adapters at the time of connection. To thoroughly clean connectors and adapters1, proceed as follows:

1.If both connectors have been removed from the adapter, blow compressed gas2 through the adapter.

2.Wipe completely around the ferrule of the connector twice with a lint-free wiping material that has been moistened with reagent- grade ethyl alcohol, nominal USP > 99%.

3.Repeat Step 2 with a dry wipe.

4.Blow compressed gas across the end of the ferrule. This is the final step before inserting the connector. Do not wipe the ferrule or allow it to touch anything after completion of this step.

5.Insert connector into adapter.

6.Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for the other connector.

1.Procedure is adapted from GR-326-CORE, Issue 3, Sept 1999, Section 4.3.

2.Compressed air or canned compressed gas that is clean, dry, and oil-free.
