• Take care to keep both parts of the optical connector (cable
side and PCB side) clean. If they become dirty, wipe them
with tissue paper or absorbent cotton to remove dirt. The
tissue paper or absorbent cotton may be moistened with
ethyl alcohol. Do not use any organic solvent other than
ethyl alcohol.
• Fix the reinforcing cover of the external cable or the cord
binding portion of the internal cord type cable by using a
cable clamp, as shown in Fig. D(e), to prevent the weight of
the optical fiber cable from being applied directly to the
connecting part of the optical connector.
(Recommended cable clamp) Recommended cable clamps are
listed below. Use a clamp that
grasps the optical cable lightly;
the clamp should not apply
excessive pressure to the cable.
