Cleaning If at any time, a connector specimen is uncoupled during qualification testing, the optical interfaces shall be cleaned according to the applicable Instruction Sheet prior to any subsequent measurements. Additional cleaning techniques deemed necessary by Product Engineering should be described in the Test Report. If, after cleaning the connector as prescribed, loss performance exceeds the specified limit, or, if the operator suspects the presence of debris at the optical interface, perform the cleaning procedure a second time. If the resultant optical reading still exceeds the specification, clean the interface a third time and accept that reading Control Cables Control cables shall be subjected to climatic environmental tests. Transmittance shall be recorded each time a specimen transmittance is made. Changes in control cable power of less than 0.05 db may be neglected in the test specimen power and loss calculations. If control cable power changes by more than 0.05 db during the duration of the test or sequence of tests, change in control cable power shall be included in power and loss calculations per EIA Rev O4 8 of 8
