The primary cause of fiber cable
failure is end-face contamination.
For top network performance, it is essential
all optical end-faces are clean and free of contami-
nants. Proper fiber optic end-face cleaning involves
two key components: specialized solvent and
lint-free wipes or swabs. Whatever your networks
configuration is, Fluke Networks provides you with
the solution to ensure your fiber connections don’t
bring your network down.

Why clean?
Prevent the #1 cause of •
fiber link failure: end-face
contamination.
Remove all contami-•
nants from fiber ports
and patch cords
including dust, oils
and buffer gels.
Avoid permanent damage from •
mating connections with
contaminants.
Ensure better network performance.•
Decrease potential downtime.•
Fiber optic kits
Include everything needed for precision •
cleaning of end-faces on both ports
and patch cords.
Specially formulated solvent dissolves •
contaminants, neutralizes static charge
and encapsulates particles for removal.
Cleaning instructions
Cleaning patch cords with cleaning cards
1. 2.
After removing
one plastic
cover, apply
a small spot
of solvent to the
starting corner of the
cleaning zone.
Cleaning patch cords with a cleaning cube
1.
Holding the connector
perpendicularly, swipe
the end-face from the
wet spot into a dry
zone.
2.
Cleaning inside ports with swabs
1.
After pulling a clean
wipe from the cube,
apply a small spot
of solvent to the
starting edge
of the
wipe.
3.
2.
Touch the swab to the wet
spot on the wipe for 3 seconds to absorb a minimal
amount of solvent. A damp
swab works better than a
wet one. Applying solvent
from the pen directly to the
swab will likely result in
excessive solvent.
A range of wipes and swabs enable •
cleaning of all styles of fiber optic
connections.
Fiber Optic Cleaning Cards are perfect for •
troubleshooting; they are small enough
to fit in a pocket and each of
its 12 cleaning zones can
be used as necessary.
Use the convenient and •
rugged carrying case for
large jobs and replenish
with the Fiber Optic Supplies
Kit box. (NFC-Kit-Case)

Holding the connector
perpendicularly, swipe
the end-face from the
wet spot into a dry
zone.
All connectors and fiber end-faces should be cleaned and inspected prior to testing.
Insert the swab into the
port and turn several times
while applying gentle
pressure. Follow
the damp swab
with a dry one,
using the same
procedure to remove
any remaining solvent
from the end-face and
alignment sleeve.
