Connectors are designed to require minimum maintenance and provide reliable operation for many years. However, to ensure optimal operation and minimum insertion loss, it is important that fiber ends and optical ports be clean at all times. Proper cleaning also prevents the buildup of dirt, dust and other foreign substances-especially between connector pins. This application note presents the proper maintenance procedures for connectors (FC, SC, ST and E-2000), fibers (singlemode and multimode) and other components such as bulkhead connectors, fiber-optic adapters (FOAs), detector ports and EUI connectors. This procedure ensures safe and effective inspection and cleaning techniques for long-lasting connectors.
