How to clean the optical module port?

Usually,the ports of our newly purchased optical modules are clean and do not need to clean the ports,but for the optical modules that are idle or not inserted into the dust caps in time,when used again,in order to prevent the transmission performance from being affected,we still need to clean the ports of the optical modules first.Then the following will explain the cleaning method of the Optic Transceiver.

First,we need to prepare the optical module electric cleaning pen or optical module cleaning rod,anti-static gloves,we must wear anti-static gloves before taking the optical module to prevent the optical module from damage by static electricity.After picking up the optical module,the electric cleaning pen will be aimed at the fiber optic interface of the optical module,press the button to stop for about 1 second,the pen tip will automatically clean the port,and finally pull out the pen tip to complete the cleaning of the optical module port.

In the face of more stubborn stains can repeat the above operation,or in the pen tip dip some alcohol and then operate.If the clean Optical Module is not used to cover the dust cap in time,if you want to use,remember to wipe the fiber core on the fiber optic connector with fiber paper to prevent the Optical Module port from receiving secondary pollution.

Optical module as one of the important components of optical network transmission,if the optical module port pollution will affect its transmission performance,triggering link failure,therefore www.fs-transceivers.com,it is necessary to regularly clean the optical module and fiber cores.
