FISCHER FIBEROPTIC SERIES
INTRODUCTION
The Fischer FiberOptic Series push-pull connector solutions are purpose built to withstand the elements of rugged
and harsh environments, providing virtually faultless optical performance. This rugged push-pull fiber optic connec-
tor, for both indoor and outdoor applications, can also be available pre-cabled for maximum performance and time
saving.
Fischer Connectors recommends the following three cleaning options for the Fischer FiberOptic Series.
1. Rapid cleaning(one click cleaning) - FO1, FO2, FO4 and FOH.
2. Field cleaning(Tap water cleaning) - FO1, FO2 and FO4 only.
CAUTION: This cleaning method is NOT recommended for the FOH, as the electrical contacts should be completely dry before
using the connector again.
3. Maintenance cleaning (ultrasonic cleaning)
CAUTION: This cleaning method is recommended for the FO1, FO2 and FO4. However it is possible for the FOH, but only if the
connector is completely dry before using it again because of the electrical contacts.
