This step should only be performed on the transmit (TX) port if
the air blows did not work. Do not perform this step on the
receive (RX) port. The receive (RX) port contains a lens for
focusing a wide input. The lens is more easily scratched than
cleaned.

Step 4
If required, insert a CLETOP stick into the transmit (TX) port sleeve
until vertical force can be applied to the fiber stub end surface. Rotate
the CLETOP stick five full rounds.

It is recommended that the process plug be installed into the
optical ports on the pluggable optics module to maintain
cleanliness until the optical fiber is connected.
