Technical Note

Hybrid Fiber-Optic Camera Cable Checker

The connector sections to be cleaned are the key parts, including the tips and sides of ferrules, the interior walls of alignment sleeves and the interior and exterior of connector shells. Note that scratches and particles of foreign matter on the tip of the ferrule can have a disabling effect on fiber-optic transmission. The following procedures should be used when cleaning hybrid fiber-optic camera connectors.

  • For Plugs, the interior surfaces of alignment sleeves and the tips of ferrules are to be cleaned with the non-alcohol treated cleaning stick using a gentle stroking action. Canare FCFA and FCFRA enhance easy cleaning procedure for its innovative alignment sleeve and insulator detachable design.
    US Patent: No.7241055B2
  • For Jacks, it is important to clean both the tips and sides of the completely protruding ferrules with the cleaning stick.
  • Both the male and female connector shells tend to attract dust and metal particles, so it is important to clean both the insides and outsides using cotton gauze or similar material.

1 Extract an insulator unit.
For FC series, use a removal tool : ASPT-1. OC series does not require special tool. Minus driver or coin should be fine.

FC series Step.1 OC series Step.1

2 Clean up ferrules.
Canare suggests using CLETOP (photo shown). This stick features ferrule guide for efficient cleaning. For monitoring, a fiber scope will be handy as it displays real time ferrule surface.

FC series Step.2 OC series Step.2

3 Dust away on alignment sleeves
Dust also remains on inner part of alignment sleeve. Another end of CLETOP is ideal for wiping inside of alignment sleeve.

FC series Step.3 OC series Step.3

4 Put back the unit in place
The right position marked on dots. Insert the unit to the end - click sound. Press again with your finger to make sure properly placed. Insufficient locking may cause an issue - unit remaining on male connector.
