External Storage
If you are using an external form of storage on the XTT-5000 (USB drive, etc.) (and
have written files to the external volume), you must cleanly dismount the volume
from Windows before removing it, or the files may not be written safely to the
external storage volume.

Handling Optical Fiber Home
In general, handle fiber patch cords and connectors carefully. Always replace dust
covers. Keep the optical connectors clean, and make a practice of not looking into
fiber ends.
An optical fiber is a strand of glass about the same diameter as a human hair.
Though it is remarkably durable, careful handling is required to ensure continued
high performance and long life.
•Do not pull or kink patch cords, as the glass strand in the middle might
become damaged or broken.
•A sharp bend will cause excessive signal loss.
•Keep patch cord bend radiuses no less than an inch.
•Use specialized optical cable raceways and plenums whenever they are
available.
•Don’t use tie wraps as you would with electrical cables. Tie wraps will put
strain on the fiber. The next figure shows the proper method of wrapping and
securing fiber patch cords.
There are several types of
optical connectors in use today.
This figure shows the two most
popular for Ethernet, SC and
LC.
SC to LC Cable
This is a duplex multi-mode LC cord.
Look closely at the pictures to see the
details of the connection mechanism.
Duplex LC Cable
•When using optical connectors, insert or remove the ferrule straight into the
sleeve.
•Minimize wiggling the connector as this may loosen the tight fit that is
required for the ferrule and sleeve.
•For SC connectors, orient the prominent key on the connector body with the
slot in bulkhead adapter. Push the connector in until it clicks. To remove,
12

XTT 5000 System
pinch the connector body between your thumb and finger, and gently pull
straight out.
•LC connectors evolved from the basic RJ-45 connector design, and are placed
on and removed in the same fashion as an RJ-45. Simply push the rear
prongs together to release the connector. Listen for the click when you seat
the connector.
Cleaning Optical Fiber
Fiber optic connectors must be kept clean to ensure long life of the connectors and to
minimize transmission loss at the connection point.
Precautions
•When not in use, always replace dust covers and caps to prevent deposits and
films from airborne particles. A single dust particle caught between two
connectors will cause significant signal loss. Dust particles can scratch the
polished fiber end, resulting in permanent damage.
•Do not touch the connector end or the ferrules, since this will leave an oily
deposit from your fingers.
•Do not allow uncapped connectors to drop on the floor.
How to Clean
•Should a fiber connector become dirty or exhibit high loss, carefully clean the
entire ferrule and end face.
•Special lint-free pads should be used with isopropyl alcohol.
•Even though not very accessible, the end face in a bulkhead adapter on test
equipment can be cleaned by using a special lint-free swab, again with
isopropyl alcohol.
•In extreme cases, a test unit may require more thorough cleaning at the
factory.
•Cotton, paper, or solvents should never be used for cleaning since they may
leave behind particles or residues.
•Use a fiber optic cleaning kit especially made for cleaning optical connectors,
and follow the directions.
•Canned air can do more harm than good if not used properly. Again, follow
the directions that come with the kit.
