A. Cleaning the Connectors and Adapters
3.02 Dust and other contaminants on fiber optic connectors and adapters can seriously
degrade circuit performance. To prevent contamination, unused connectors and adapters must be
protected with clean dust caps. Routine termination activity can also introduce contaminants;
therefore, it is essential that connectors and adapters be cleaned just before making connections.
3.03 The cleaning kit available from ADC (catalog number FPC-CLNKIT) can be used to
clean the connectors and adapters used in the wall box.
B. Routing the Patch Cords in the Wall Box
3.04 After terminating a patch cord connector to an adapter in the wall box, route the patch
cord either straight out the bottom of the wall box, or route it in a counterclockwise direction
around the two radius limiters and then out the top or bottom of the wall box. Carefully remove
most of the slack from the service loops as in
Figure 11 .
