Reinigung des DTX Compact OTDR-Moduls
Setting Up for OTDR Testing / Cleaning DTX OTDR Module
Always clean and inspect fiber connectors before making connections. Use fiber optic solvent and optical-grade wipes or swabs to clean connectors as follows:
Cleaning Bulkhead Connectors
- Berühren Sie die Spitze eines Glasfaserlösungsmittels oder eines mit Lösungsmittel getränkten Tupfers auf einem fusselfreien Trockenreinigungstuch- oder Glasfaserreinigungskarte.
- Berühren Sie einen neuen, trockenen Tupfer am Lösungsmittelfleck auf dem Tuch oder der Karte. Push the swab into the connector, twist it around 3 to 5 times against the end-face, then remove and dispose of the swab.
- Trocknen Sie den Anschlussadapter mit einem trockenen Tupfer, indem Sie ihn im Anschlussadapter 3 bis 5 mal drehen.
- Inspect connectors with a fiber microscope, such as the Fluke Networks FiberInspector Video Microscope before making connections.
Cleaning Fiber Adapters
Periodically clean fiber adapters with a swab and fiber optic solvent. Dry with a dry swab before use.
Cleaning Connector Ends
- Berühren Sie die Spitze eines Glasfaserlösungsmittels oder eines mit Lösungsmittel getränkten Tupfers auf einem fusselfreien Trockenreinigungstuch- oder Glasfaserreinigungskarte.
- Wipe the connector end-face across the solvent spot, then back and forth once across the dry area of the wipe or card.
Hinweise
Some connector styles, such as VF-45, may require a different cleaning method.
Always cover unused connectors with protective caps. Clean caps periodically with a swab or wipe and fiber optic solvent.
Cleaning the OTDR Ports
Use a dry, optical-grade wipe to clean the OTDR ports. Figure 1 below shows how to remove the OTDR adapter to access the connector ferrule.

The OTDR port connection quality screen helps you determine when the OTDR ports needs cleaning. Siehe Abbildung 2.

If the port is very dirty, wipe the end of the ferrule with an optical-grade wipe lightly moistened with fiber optic solvent. Dry with a dry wipe.
See the Fluke Networks FiberInspector™ Mini, a convenient video microscope enables end-face inspection inside ports and on patch cords.
Also available, are the Fiber Optic Cleaning Kits, the complete solution for precision end-face cleaning.
