Disconnect both cable ends for safety reasons
Untight the connector bushing and remove carefully
the insert of the connector housing.
Inspect the LC connectors with a fiberscope
(CAS-FOCD)
Fold a lint-free wipe FOCD-DW into a square.
Moisten one section of the wipe with one drop of the
alcohol. Be sure that a portion of the wipe remains dry.
Wipe lightly the ferrule tip in the alcohol moistened
portion of the wipe.
Immediately repeat this wiping action on the dry
section of the wipe to remove any residual alcohol.
Do not scrub the fiber against the wipe, doing so can
cause scratches.
Dispose the wipe, NEVER REUSE A WIPE.
Inspect the connector again with a fiberscope
(CAS-FOCD).
Repeat the process if necessary.
After the cleaning procedure slide the connector insert
back into the connector housing.
Align the key on the insert to the cutout of the metal
housing.
Invisible laser radiation may be emitted from
disconnected fibers or connectors. Do not stare into
beams or view directly with optical instruments.
Screw both connector parts tight together.
Do not disassemble the opticalCON DUO LITE cable connector if not necessary.
The automatic sealing shutter of the opticalCON avoids pollution of the inside located LC-
connectors.
The dust proof design reduces cleaning to a minimum, if nevertheless necessary be aware that
improper cleaning can cause damage to the equipment.
Tools: ?99% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or cleaning fluid (FOCD-CF)
?Lint free wipes (FOCD-DW)
The primary concern with using IPA is that it be removed completely from the LC connector.
If the alcohol is allowed to evaporate slowly of the ferrule, it can leave residual material on the fiber core or cladding.
