  • Wet-dry cleaning is most effective for removing most forms of contamination and eliminates electrostatic charge.
  • Use optical-grade cleaning fluids that leave no residue and are fast-evaporating.
  • Always clean both ends of a connector pair, and do it just before mating.
  • Inspect new jumpers and patch cords right out of the bag. Inspect when they have protective dust covers too.
  • Use one stick per end face to avoid cross-contamination when using Cleanstixx swabs cleaners,
  • When using Cleanstixx Swabs rotate them in one direction. Normally four to five rotations are good.
  • When using mechanical “push-to-clean” cleaners and cassette cleaners combine wet/dry cleaning to dissipate static
