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.

PerCONNECT® EcoFlex’IT™ is the next step on from PerCONNECT®, with active components and an innovative overall concept which focuses on efficient and flexible and find its application in new and existing network installations. A central element in this complete system is the Active Consolidation Point (ACP), which is integrated in the backbone with fiber optics and is distributed in the close tertiary area (max. 20 m) on copper trunks or patch cables. PerCONNECT® EcoFlex’IT™ is a ring configuration which is redundantly designed as an FTTACP (fiber to the active consolidation point). By installing the ACPs in raised floors, ceilings or walls, the cabling system can be integrated in any work environment without the need for additional space, can be taken out again at any time, is easy to move and is flexibly upgradeable.
