Inspection

To inspect and clean the fibers, follow these steps:

Ensure the fiber is not "live."

WARNING

Eye damage may occur if an optical instrument such as a microscope, magnifying glass, or eye loupe is used to stare at an energized fiber end.
Inspect the fiber endface with a fiberscope.
If the fiber endface is clean, return to the installation instructions.
If the connector is dirty, proceed to the dry cleaning instructions.
