Cleaning Fiber Connectors
In order to minimize optical signal loss due to "dirty" optical fiber ends, Calix recommends
that all connectors be cleaned at initial installation and after any disconnect event has
occurred.
DANGER!
A Class 1 laser product with an internal Class IIIb hazard is used in
this equipment. Use an optical power meter to identify active fibers. Never
assume laser power is turned off or that the fiber is disconnected at the other
end.
ALERT!
A protective cap or hood must be placed over any radiating bulkhead
receptacle or optical fiber patch cord (pigtail) when not connected.
CAUTION!
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified here may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
What you will Need
