Always clean and inspect the endfaces in fiber connectors before
you make connections. Fluke Networks recommends that you use
a mechanical device, such as the Fluke Networks IBC OneClick
Cleaner, to clean connectors. If you do not have such a device, or
if the device does not clean the connector sufficiently, use other
optical-grade supplies to clean connectors.
Figure 71 shows the equipment you use to clean and inspect fiber
endfaces.
Warning

To prevent possible eye damage caused by
hazardous radiation:
 Do not look directly into optical connectors. Some
optical equipment emits invisible radiation that can
cause permanent damage your eyes.
 Before you clean an endface, turn off any optical
sources (laser or LED) that are connected to the
fiber.
 When you inspect endfaces, use only magnification
devices that have the correct filters.
Caution
To prevent damage to connectors and to keep
contamination off of endfaces:
 Always cover unused connectors and adapters with
protective caps.
 Always keep unused protective caps in a clean,
sealed container to prevent contamination.
