How to clean bare fiber adapters

Bare fiber adapters are difficult to clean. Protect from dust unless they are

in use.

Preferred Procedure

Use the following procedure on most occasions.

• Blow away any dust or dirt with compressed air.

Procedure for Stubborn Dirt

Use this procedure when there is greasy dirt on the adapter.

1 Clean the adapter by pushing and pulling a new, dry pipe cleaner into

the opening. Rotate the pipe cleaner slowly as you do this.

2 Clean the adapter by rubbing a new, dry cotton swab over the surface

using a small circular movement.

3 Blow away any remaining lint with compressed air.

Never use any kind of solvent when cleaning a bare fiber adapter as

solvents can:

• damage the foam inside some adapters;

• deposit dissolved dirt in the groove, which can then contaminate

the surface of an inserted fiber.

CAUTION

Be careful when using pipe cleaners, as the core and the bristles of

the pipe cleaner are hard and can damage the adapter.
