Abstract
IEC TR 62627-01:2023 which is a Technical Report, details cleaning methods for fibre optic connectors. It includes typical cleaning tools and machines, and cleaning procedures. Other cleaning methods exist. The impact of contamination and the reasons for connector visual inspection and cleaning are described in Annex B. This document does not address the visual inspection procedures, which are covered in IEC 61300-3-35. Optical fibre patch cords are handled by the operators and maintenance staff of optical network systems. This document is useful as a guideline to prepare instruction manuals for those involved in optical system maintenance and operation. This document covers fibre optic connector plugs, optical adaptors, optical receptacles (excluding optical transceivers) and dust caps. Guidelines for fibre optic connector end-face cleaning methods for receptacle style optical transceivers are covered in IEC TR 62572-4. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- addition of cleaning tools for adhesive pad type and adhesive pen type in terms and definitions (Clause 3), in information (7.5 and 7.6), in fibre optic connectors and their applicable cleaning tools (Table 1 and Clause 8) and procedures (9.5, 9.6 and 9.7);
- addition of classification of cleaning tools and machines (Figure 1).
