A Note About Fiber Maintenance
As with any fiber optics system, connector cleanliness is one of the most important factors
leading to a successful implementation. The ST connectors on the various components are
very easy to clean with a "Kem-wipe" and 100% pure isopropyl alcohol. There are a number
of other cleaning methods available.
In terms of cleaning the hybrid connector, there are only two acceptable methods. The first
involves having the proper alcohol swab that can be inserted into the optical cavity without
harming the ceramic alignment sleeve. These are one-time use. The other involves removal
of the alignment sleeve via a special tool made by LEMO and others and then using
conventional cleaning methods once the termini is exposed.
Having a routine maintenance/cleaning schedule for all of your fiber optic gear will provide
you with many years of reliable service.
