Overview
Purpose
This appendix describes the Lucent recommended method for the
cleaning and inspection of optical connectors using specific tools and
materials that have been proven to be effective in the assembly and
testing of optical transmission equipment. It is critical that connector
faces are clean and free from particular contamination to assure proper
performance and reliability of lightwave systems. With the modern
high speed, high power, and wider bandwidth optical transmission
systems, clean connectors along the optical path are essential for
successful operation.
