Cleaning of Connectors in a Bulkhead Adapter
Perform the following steps to clean optical connectors in a bulkhead adapter.
1.
Remove the protective cap from the bulkhead adapter.
2.
Blow dust particles from the interior surface of the bulkhead adapter using
filtered canned air as follows:
CAUTION:
Be sure to hold the air can in upright position so that liquid from the can
cannot enter the air tube. Do not shake the can. Do not blow air directly
on the fiber. Failure to observe this caution may damage the connector or
cause contaminants to be placed on the surface being cleaned.
•
Hold the air can upright. Position the can extension tube approximately 6
inches (15.3 cm) from the surface to be cleaned.
•
Gently blow into the adapter.
3.
Swab the bulkhead adapter using a lint-free swab as follows:
CAUTION:
Do not use alcohol less than 91% pure. Do not use common rubbing
alcohol. Failure to observe this caution will deposit contaminants on the
fiber surface.
•
Moisten a lint-free swab with > 91% pure ethyl or isopropyl alcohol.
•
Insert the moistened swab into the bulkhead adapter until it touches the
interior connector face.
•
Apply light pressure and rotate the swab approximately eight to ten turns.
•
Remove the swab.
•
Insert a dry, lint-free swab and gently turn several times
