One-Click® Cleaner MPO / MPO-16

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.

The Sticklers™ brand CleanWipes™ are a convenient cleaning tool designed for high-speed cleaning of optical jumpers and patch cords. Its designs enables technicians to clean fiber optic end-faces at the lowest possible cost per clean. The exclusive, static-dissipative, high-modulus fabric cleaning material will not tear or shred away even when cleaning LC connectors. The highly absorbent material is very soft, will not scratch connectors and delivers superior cleaning results. The color-coded CleanSots™ tracks remind technicians to never re-use a wipe, eliminating cross-contamination. The box design also eliminates the chance of cleaning on an already used wipe and minimizes fingertip contamination. The CleanWipes™ system offers a simple, fast and disciplined cleaning process that delivers perfectly clean connectors. Better cleaning makes networks run faster and avoids expensive service calls.

FOCIS Lightning No Wireless (NW) is a self-contained multi-fiber connector inspection probe with integrated screen. It is intended specifically for the inspection of multi-fiber connectors and bulkheads such MPO and MTP® including multi-row varieties. The FOCIS Lightning NW can perform industry standard and user-defined end-face cleanliness analysis at a rate of about 1 second per fiber. Lightning NW stores connector level and individual fiber images, analysis, overlays, and zones tables locally. Pass / fail results in seconds: With the press of a single button, the FOCIS Lightning NW auto-focuses, captures, centers and analyzes the multi-fiber end-face image to industry standard and user-defined criteria. Untethered operation: With rechargeable battery and integrated 2.4” TFT color LCD screen, FOCIS Lightning NW can be used independently. Multi-fiber front-end adapter tips: Multi-fiber front-end adapter tips support single row and multi-row MT connector inspection for a wide range of patch cords and bulkhead-mounted connectors having either PC/UPC or APC polished end-faces. The probe snout includes a key which in combination with a slot on the adapter tips ensures that adapter tips never loosen during use, under any circumstances.
