Special care must be taken when connecting and disconnecting optical cables to avoid damaging the fiber and the connector on the device. Dust caps should be used when a fiber cable is disconnected to protect from dirt or damage. The fiber and connector should also be cleaned prior to mating. There should also be no optical signal in the cable or out of the connector when disconnecting, connecting, or cleaning.
