How to use

Ensure both fibre ends are clean and free of dust or debris before connecting.

Verify optical continuity and measure insertion loss if required. When disconnecting, depress the LC connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule.

Recommendations

Use a fibre inspection probe and lint-free wipes with approved cleaning solution to maintain low loss connections. Store spare adapters in protective packaging to prevent contamination. Avoid exposure to moisture and mechanical stress to preserve optical performance.
