SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. LASER LIGHT PROTECTION
WARNING: LASER LIGHT IS INVISIBLE. THE INVISIBLE LIGHT
IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO DAMAGE YOUR EYES. SERIOUS
DAMAGE TO THE RETINA OF THE EYE IS POSSIBLE. NEVER
LOOK INTO THE END OF A FIBER THAT MAY HAVE A LASER
COUPLED INTO IT. SHOULD ACCIDENTAL EYE EXPOSURE TO
LASER LIGHT BE SUSPECTED, ARRANGE FOR AN EYE
EXAMINATION IMMEDIATELY.
2. CABLE HANDLING
WARNING: FIBER OPTIC CABLE CAN BE DAMAGED BY
EXCESSIVE PULLING, TWISTING, CRUSHING OR BENDING
STRESSES. CONSULT THE APPROPRIATE SPECIFICATION
SHEETS AS PROVIDED BY YOUR CABLE VENDOR. ANY
DAMAGE MAY DECREASE OPTICAL PERFORMANCE.
Important Connector Cleaning Information
Clean all connectors prior to connection. Just like single fiber connectors, all multi-fiber connectors must be properly cleaned
prior to connection to ensure optimum optical performance is achieved. Although interconnect cords and cable assemblies are
shipped from the factory pre-cleaned and protected with a dust cover, the user should never assume the ferrule or connector
has not been contaminated. A contaminated endface may not meet system insertion loss and reflectance requirements or may
cause permanent damage to the fiber(s) when mated to another connector. Therefore, it is recommended that each ferrule
endface or tip be cleaned using this procedure prior to connection.
FMTPFCT Instructions - Cleaning Female MTP* Connectors
1. Grip the FMTPFCT, depressing the green lever of the
cleaning tool. The metal shutter on top of the cleaning tool
will open, exposing fresh cleaning material. Fresh material
is exposed each time the green lever is depressed.
2. Position the female MTP* ferrule endface so that the fiber
tips are in contact with the cleaning material. Wipe the
ferrule endface along the cleaning material in the direction
shown on the cleaning tool.
3. Release the green lever of the cassette to cover the
cleaning material.
4. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 to ensure that any contamination
is removed.
