Appendix B

Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors

This section describes how to clean fiber optic connections. The fiber

optic connector consists of a fiber optic plug and its adapter. The end of

the fiber optic cable is held in the core of the ferrule in the plug. Light

signals are transmitted through the core of the fiber. Even minor

smudges, or dirt, on the end face of the fiber (completely invisible to the

naked eye) can disrupt light transmission and lead to failure of the

component or of the entire system. Therefore, it is of utmost importance

to clean all fiber optic connectors before use.
