Usually, the ports of the newly purchased optical modules are clean, and there is no need to clean the ports, but for the optical modules that are idle or have not been inserted into the dust cap in time, when they are used again, in order to prevent the transmission performance from being affected, we still have It is necessary to clean the port of the optical module first. Then the following ETU-LINK will explain the cleaning method of the optical module for you.

First of all, we need to prepare the optical module electric cleaning pen or optical module cleaning stick and anti-static gloves. Before taking the optical module, we must wear anti-static gloves to prevent the optical module from being damaged by static electricity. After picking up the optical module, align the electric cleaning pen with the optical fiber interface of the optical module, press the button and stop for about 1 second, the pen head will automatically clean the port, and finally pull out the pen head to complete the cleaning of the optical module port.

In the face of stubborn stains, you can repeat the above operations more, or dip alcohol in the pen before operation. If the cleaned optical module is not used, cover the dust cap in time. If it is to be used, remember to wipe the fiber core on the optical fiber connector with fiber wiping paper to prevent the port of the optical module from receiving secondary pollution.

As an important part of optical network transmission, the optical module will affect its transmission performance and cause link failure if its port is polluted. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the optical module and optical fiber core regularly.
