Cleaning with Meaning Next to abuse, dirt is the greatest enemy of optical cable. But it's an enemy that can be defeated with just a little cleaning effort on your part. Use the cleaning cloth to clean the outer surfaces of the cable, the connectors and the dust cover.

Don't use any other solvents! Remove stubborn dirt or mud by rinsing the cable in a container of clean water, but keep the connectors dry. When the cable is clean, wipe it dry with the cleaning cloth. Use the lint-free cloth dampened with alcohol to clean the surfaces of plugs. Use the foam-tipped applicator ap·pli·ca·tor n.

Take Safety to Heart "It ain't heavy" is not a phrase that applies to cables and their reels. CX-13295/G cable on an RC-435/U reel is a two-person lift. It weighs around 50 pounds. CX-13295/G cable on an RC-453B/G B/G Background (cinematography) B/G Back Glass reel is a four-person lift. It's more than 100 pounds. Try to lift either by yourself and it's hello sick call. Fiber optical cables emit a few things that can damage your eyes, such as high- and low-level infrared signals and optical radiation. When you're disconnecting optical connectors, don't look directly into the optic cables and avoid exposure to the optic beam. When working with this cable, it's best to wear industrial-UV spectacles. There are more than 100 industrial spectacles in the defense inventory under the 4240 supply class. Find the ones with UV protection that work best for you. The Art of Connecting To protect yourself and the cable and to ensure the best possible communications, connect fiber optic cable assemblies correctly. Follow these steps: 1. Hold the fiber optic connector of one cable section in one hand and grasp the dust cover sleeve nut with the other hand. Turn the dust cover sleeve nut counterclockwise to unscrew and release the dust cover. Set this connector aside and repeat the action with the other cable section. 2. Now back the sleeve nut on one of the connectors all the way to the rear by turning it clockwise clock·wise adv. & adj. Abbr. cw. In the same direction as the rotating hands of a clock. clockwise Adverb, adj in the direction in which the hands of a clock rotate . Only one sleeve nut is needed to couple the two connectors. 3. Hold the two fiber optic connectors so that the faces are aligned. Gently--force is not needed--push the two connectors together and screw the sleeve nut of the one connector onto the other connector until it is tight. 4. To lower loss of light between the two connectors, the two cable assemblies must be accurately aligned with the minimum possible gap between the connectors. The unused sleeve nut may be screwed forward as a jam nut See See also: Jam to lock the two connectors in place. 5. Now, connect the two dust covers by backing one dust cover sleeve nut all the way to the rear flange flange (flanj) a projecting border or edge; in dentistry, that part of the denture base which extends from around the embedded teeth to the border of the denture. flange n. 1. on the dust cover, aligning the two faces and turning the sleeve nut to tighten them together. 6. Don't forget to maintain slack in the cable to relieve pressure from the connection. Use the marline to make the slack.

Look at the connectors for excessive oil, grease or dirt. Check them for cracks, corrosion or other damage. See if there is any damage to the main body or the sleeve nut.
