One-Click® Cleaners

Cleaning saves time and money. Dirty connectors cause a major percentage of fiber optic network failures. Prevention is a simple as cleaning connectors!

Easily and safely clean contaminants from fiber connector end-faces and optical fiber before field terminating or fusion splicing. The AFL FCC2 Enhanced Formula Fiber Optic Cleaning and Preparation Fluid is a non-flammable, environmentally safe, residue free solvent engineered to easily remove contaminants from fiber optic end-faces and bare fiber. It outperforms alcohol IPA based cleaners without the health and safety risks. The AFL FCC2 is not hazardous and not regulated for all modes of transportation and shipping including air-cargo. The compact size and spill-proof design of the FCC2 3 oz. container makes it perfect for cleaning, inspection, and test equipment cases. The improved designand 3-way dispenser allows one-handed use with WFW FiberWipes, convenient wetting of CCT connector cleaning tips, and spray nozzle functionality. Offering high purity and fast, consistent cleaning, FCC2 was developed with and is packaged by MicroCare Corporation, a world leader in cleaning solvents.

Today’s splicing equipment is fast, efficient, and requires minimal maintenance due to advances in splicing technology. However, 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 optical elements and v-grooves. This contamination will offset the fibers and degrade performance. Thorough cleaning of a fusion splicer’s optical elements and alignment V-grooves is critical to ensure successful trouble-free splicing operations. CS-1 Cotton Swabs are especially useful for such cleaning operations. The small size of the CS-1 swabs ensures accessibility in tight places and will not leach out chemicals or lint and contaminate optical elements.
