FOCIS Flex Fiber Optic Connector Inspection System

Today’s splicing equipment is fast, efficient, and requires minimal maintenance due to advances in splicing technology. However, contamination in the v-groove of the splicer is still a primary source of trouble for the splicing technician. This is especially problematic when splicing with a fixed v-groove fusion splicer. Environmental contamination, such as dust, dirt, and fiber coating debris, as well as, the silica deposits generated during the fusion process eventually find their way to the surface of the v-groove. This contamination will offset the fibers and degrade performance. To help control this problem, a disciplined cleaning regimen and specific tooling is required to ensure the splice is right the first time. To solve cleaning needs, AFL offers the Splicer V-Groove Cleaning Kit. This product integrates eight components into an affordable and effective inspection and cleaning solution for any fusion splicer. Small and lightweight, it fits easily into the Fujikura splicer transit case or it can be carried separately in its own carrying case.

NEOCLEAN-E Simple-to-Use Refillable Design The NEOCLEAN-E uses a simple one push action to quickly and effectively clean contamination from the ferrule end-face of connectors on jumpers or in adapters, reducing cleaning time. It is effective for removing oil, dust, and dirt particulates that can have a negative impact on fiber optic network performance. The replaceable cleaning cartridge can perform 750 cleanings, reducing cleaning cost. Available for SC, FC, ST, E2000, LC and MU connectors with UPC or APC polishes. NEOCLEAN-M Clean MPO/MTP® Connectors with an Easy Push Operation The NEOCLEAN-M is designed to clean MPO and MTP® multi-fiber connectors used in data centers and other high density optical networks. The NEOCLEAN-M uses a one-push operation, which simplifies cleaning of the ferrule end-face of both MPO/ MTP exposed connectors and connectors in adapters. The one-push operation advances the specially designed microfiber tape while effectively and gently cleaning the end-face of the connector. NEOCLEAN-M2 The NEOCLEAN-M2 is designed to clean MPO-16 and MTP-16 multi-fiber connectors used in data centers and other high density optical networks. The NEOCLEAN-M2 uses a one-push operation, which simplifies cleaning of the ferrule end-face of both MPO-16/ MTP-16 exposed connectors and connectors in adapters. The one-push operation advances the specially designed microfiber tape while effectively and gently cleaning the end-face of the connector.

FCC2 Enhanced Fiber Connector Cleaner is a nonflammable, environmentally safe, residue-free solvent engineered to clean fiber connector end-faces and bare fiber before field terminating or fusion splicing. The 3-way dispenser is intended for easy one-handed use with fiber wipes, convenient wetting of CCT connector cleaning tips, and spray nozzle functionality. Packaged in unique, spill-proof containers, it can be shipped with connector cleaning and termination kits so technicians avoid wasting time sourcing a cleaner locally. Offering high purity and fast consistent cleaning, FCC2 was developed with and is packaged by Micro Care Corporation, a world leader in cleaning solvents.

Specifically designed to lift and trap common contaminants found in fiber optic installations, AFL FiberWipes provide superior cleaning results from material that is stronger and more absorbent, yet softer than traditional cellulose wipes. Packaged in a clean room, the fabric is fully optical quality grade. FiberWipes are available in rugged mini-tubs (90 wipes) or in hermetically sealed individual packages (FiberAide 1), and are the perfect size for tool kits and test kits.
