Why Cleaning is Important?

A clean connector is critical to the dependability of any optical network architecture. When mated, connector end faces have even little amounts of dirt (skin oils, dust, lotions, water residue, etc.) they will suffer not only from power degradation but also an increased probability of permanent damage. Good cleaning techniques, proper training and the use of dependable cleaning tools will help prevent signal degradation, residue cross contamination, and will reduce lasting effects of contamination. The best practice for mating connectors is to always inspect both connectors.
