How to Clean the Fiber-Optic Connectors
Use extreme care when removing or installing connectors so that you do not damage the connector housing
or scratch the end-face surface of the fiber. Always install protective covers on unused or disconnected
components to prevent contamination. Always clean fiber connectors before installing them.
Caution
To clean optical connectors, use a CLETOP cassette cleaner (type A for SC connectors or type B for MT-RJ
connectors) and follow the product directions.
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into beams
or view directly with optical instruments. Statement 1051
Warning
Procedure
Step 1
Use a lint-free tissue soaked in 99 percent pure isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the faceplate. Wait five
seconds for the surfaces to dry, and repeat.
Step 2
Remove any residual dust from the faceplate with clean, dry, oil-free compressed air.
Step 3
Use a magnifying glass or inspection microscope to inspect the ferrule at an angle. Do not look directly into
the aperture. Repeat the process if any contamination is detected.

Each port must match the wave-length specifications on the other end of the cable, and the cable must not
exceed the stipulated cable length. Copper 1000BASE-T SFP module transceivers use standard four twisted-pair,
Category 5 cable at lengths up to 328 feet (100 meters).
