Bulkhead connectors such as those in the front face of a Smart Fibres interrogator can only be inspected using a fibre video microscope with a suitable adapter Typical views of a ferrule end face are shown below Page 8 30th Aril 2013 3100 3002 Iss E d e a Clean fibre end face ready for mating b Dust particles on connector Cleaning needed c Liquid on connector Cleaning needed d Oily streaks on connector Cleaning needed e Connector is clean but has scratches This is acceptable as there are no scratches on the fibre core Ready for mating f Fibre cladding is chipped A small amount of chipping is acceptable but this connector should be replaced 5 1 2 Dry cleaning Dry cleaning involves wiping contaminants from the connector end face using a clean lint free cloth It is important to use fresh cleaning material for each wipe Gentle but firm pressure is required enough to depress slightly the spring loaded ferrule We recommend you use a Cletop s type cleaner for free connectors and a One click type cleaner for bulkhead or other recessed connectors 5 1 3 Wet cleaning If a contaminant resists removal by dry cleaning methods then wet cleaning may be needed The process is similar but the cleaning material is either supplied pre impregnated with solvent as in some optical wipes or a solvent is added just before use The solvent must be of a high purity to avoid leaving a residue and a dry cleanin
