Cleaning Fixed Connectors

7. Slowly insert the cleaning tip into the connector until it reaches the

ferrule inside (a slow clockwise rotating movement may help).

8. Gently turn the cleaning tip one full turn.

9. Continue to turn as you withdraw the cleaning tip.

10. Repeat steps 7 to 9, but this time with a dry cleaning tip (2.5 mm tip

provided by EXFO).

Note: Make sure you don’t touch the soft end of the cleaning tip and verify the

cleanliness of the cotton tip.

11. Throw out the cleaning tips after one use.

IMPORTANT

Alcohol may leave traces if used abundantly. Avoid contact between

the tip of the bottle and the cleaning tip, and do not use bottles

that distribute too much alcohol at a time.
