Care and Handling of Fiber Optic Cables
Good system performance depends on clean port optics and cable ferrules, 
which keeps dust and small particles from blocking the optic path.
• When cables are not in use, keep the ends covered with the dust
covers that came with the cables.
• To clean the ends of the cables, use either:
– compressed air
– one of the following cleaners on a lint and strand free cotton swab:

ATTENTION
When you handle these components, take normal 
precautions to prevent damage and/or degradation by 
electrostatic discharge (ESD). The small junction size of 
these components increases their susceptibility to damage 
from ESD.
