TXP CLEANING ONLY WHEN NEEDED
Every single fiber on SIBs and fiber-optic array cables shipped from
Juniper manufacturing is cleaned completely. Prior to shipment, its
cleaning result is recorded in Juniper’s internal database, and the bulk
head on both SIBs and cables are dust-capped.
Basically, without further cleaning, you can connect the fiber-optic
array cable connector to the fiber-optic array port on the associated
SIB.
If an optical link is not functioning correctly, it’s recommended that you
clean the fiber-optic array port and the fiber-optic array cable.

ADHESIVE FLOOR MATS
In advance of cleaning task, the implementation of adhesive floor mats
in areas on service aisles surrounding TXP systems.
e.g.) Texwipe Adhesive Mats “AMA Series” of products

POWDER FREE NITRILE GLOVES
Personnel performing service activity on SIBs and trunk cables for TXP
systems is suggested to wear nitrile gloves to eliminate opportunity of
oil residue or dry skin from transferring to optical interfaces.
e.g.) Uline Industrial Nitrile Gloves (Powder Free)

COMPRESSED AIR DUSTER
Any equipment, tools, or part that can have a chance to approach to
TXP SIBs and cables have to be blown up prior to any service activity.
Compressed air duster can also help when you had to clean up fibers
using alcohol as in other slides.
e.g.) ITW Chemtronics Ultrajet All-way Duster

DRY CLOTH CLEANING TOOL
This tool uses a dry cloth to remove dust and oil from the fiber optics.
Dry cleaning tool is provided in the TX Matrix Plus tool kit.
Do not use without cleaning tool adapter and connector because the
these are keyed to ensure that the cleaning tip can be inserted in only
one way and can clean up fiber most efficiently.
e.g.) USCONEC IBC Brand Cleaner MPO (Part Number 7104)

CLEANING TOOL ADAPTER AND CONNECTOR
These tools are provided in the TX Matrix Plus tool kit.
These are used by inserting to the fiber-optic array port or the fiber-optic cable
prior to insertion of the dry cloth cleaning tips.
e.g.) USCONEC IBC Brand Cleaners and adapters
ADAPTER CIRCULAR 3x1 RECPT (Part Number 8802)
ADAPTER CIRCULAR 3x1 CONN (Part Number 8803)

INSPECTION MICROSCOPE
In order to verify the cleanliness of fiber, it’s recommended to purchase
microscope inspection kit.
e.g.) JDSU Inspection Probe Master kit FBP-SD01 (or FBP-P5000) and
the associated tips/knobs (FBPT-CMT, FBPT-MTP)

99.9% ULTRA PURE ANHYDROUS ALCOHOL,
AND CLEANING PROCEDURE
For persistent contamination that is hard to remove, it’s suggested that you use
a hint of alcohol with lint free swabs in the next slide.
First, dust-off MTP cable/SIB end-face using compressed air duster. A drop of
anhydrous alcohol should be placed the optics face with lint free swabs. Swipe
optics face with dry cloth cleaning tool while optics face is wet. And use
inspection microscope to verify. Repeat these steps as needed.
e.g.) 3M Novec fluid HFE-72DA

LINT FREE SWABS
For sticky contamination that is hard to remove, it’s suggested that you use a
hint of alcohol with lint free swabs. Follow steps described in the previous slide
(“99.9% ULTRA PURE ANHYDROUS ALCOHOL, AND CLEANING
PROCEDURE”)
e.g.) Texwipe TX757B

LOOPBACK ADAPTER AND CONNECTOR
To isolate the faulty domain, you can use the loopback adapter and connector
that are provided in the TX Matrix Plus tool kit.
If you suspect the link problem residing in SIB itself, you can put a loopback
connector to fiber-optics array port on the SIB in question. A loopback adapter
can be put to fiber-optics array cable in question.
