Title:

What is the best Practices for Cleaning Optical Fiber

Description:

If you’ve ever seen a technician using canned air or dusters for cleaning fiber end-faces, you’ve witnessed a very ineffective practice. Not only do canned air and dusters just succeed in blowing particles around, they are not all adequate for cleaning oils, residues, or small charged dust particles. Instead, use fabric and composite wipes made of lint-free material that provide the absorbency to remove contaminants from the end-face. But please remember to discard wipes after it’s been used up—a dirty wipe is the next dirty end face. Yet beware of using wipes alone—often referred to as “dry cleaning”—as this can leave a static charge on the fiber end face that actually attracts statically charged dust particles. A combination of composite wipes and solvent is really the way to go—solvents boost the cleaning ability of the wipe while eliminating the issue of static charge. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
