Cleaning Connector Ends
1 Touch the tip of a fiber optic solvent pen or swab
soaked in solvent to a lint-free dry wipe or fiber
cleaning card.
2 Wipe the connector end-face across the solvent spot,
then back and forth once across the dry area of the
wipe or card.

Some connector styles, such as VF-45, may require a
different cleaning method.
Always cover unused connectors with protective caps. Clean
caps periodically with a swab or wipe and fiber optic solvent.
