unplugging is then absorbed by the short fiber extension, which is easier and less
expensive to replace than the instruments.
• Keep fiber-optic cable connections clean. Micro-deposits of oil and dust in the canal
of the transceiver or cable connector can cause loss of light, reduction in signal power,
and possibly intermittent problems with the optical connection.
To clean the transceiver canal, use an appropriate fiber-cleaning device such as RIFOCS
Fiber Optic Adaptor Cleaning Wands (part number 946). Follow the directions in the
cleaning kit you use.
After cleaning the transceiver, make sure that the connector tip of the fiber-optic cable
is clean. Use only an approved alcohol-free fiber-optic cable cleaning kit such as the
Opptex Cletop-S
® Fiber Cleaner. Follow the directions in the cleaning kit you use.
