The connectors used inside the system have been cleaned by the manufacturer and
connected to the adapters in the proper manner. The operation of the system
should be error free if the customer provides clean connectors on the application
side, follows the previous directions, and follows these guidelines:
Clean the connectors using either a CLETOP cassette cleaner (Type A for SC
•
connectors and Type B for MT-RJ connectors) or lens tissues before
connecting to the adapters. Use pure alcohol to remove contamination.
Do not clean the inside of the connector adapters.
•
Do not use force or quick movements when connecting the fiber-optic
•
connectors in the adapters.
Cover the connectors and adapters to keep the inside of the adapters or the
•
surface of the connectors from getting dirty when you are not using the
connectors or while you are cleaning the chassis.
