Dirt, dust and other contaminants are the enemies of high-speed data transmission over optical fiber. Today’s network applications require more bandwidth than ever, making loss budgets tighter than ever. Hence, it is critical that all optical connections are free of contaminants to avoid having application performance issue.
Fluke Networks’ Fiber Optic Cleaning Kits contains the best fiber optic cleaning tools to effectively remove the toughest contaminants in any fiber network. All fiber optic cleaning materials are lint-free and enable an optimal wet and dry cleaning process.
Research has shown over 85% of fiber related problems in data centers, campus, and other enterprise or telecom environments are caused by contaminated connectors or end-faces.
With Fluke Networks Quick Clean™ Cleaners, harmful contaminants are easily removed from a wide variety of connector types. Even with no training, field technicians and fiber installers can use a simple insertion and push motion to remove residue, debris and dust that can negatively impact network performance. These cleaners are great complements to the existing Fluke Networks fiber optic solvent pen, cleaning cube and cleaning kits for all fiber environments.
The Quick Cleaner family is specifically designed to provide a cost effective solution for most bulkhead connectors and end-faces, including MPO/MTP connectors.
The Fluke Networks Quick Clean Cleaners are a family of mechanical cleaning tools designed to clean fiber optic connector end faces on patch cables, within adapters or patch panels. These Quick Clean Cleaners are molded with an antistatic material and use a novel dry cleaning strand that gently sweeps and removes harmful contaminants from the connector without damaging the connector end face. These tools are particularly effective at removing contaminants during fiber optic installation that include:
- Road Dust (ISO 12103-1)
- Skin Oil Residue
- Salt Water Residue
- Alcohol Residue
- Vegetable Residue
- Graphite Dryer Lint
- Hand Lotion
- Distilled Water Residue
Quick Clean 1.25 mm Cleaner and 2.5 mm Cleaner
The Quick Clean 1.25 mm Cleaner is designed to clean LC, LC secure keyed and MU connectors while the Quick Clean 2.5 mm Cleaner is used to clean SC, ST, FC and E2000 connectors with either UPC or APC polished ferrules.
Unlike traditional swab cleaners that rely on the technique of the user, the Quick Clean Cleaners provide consistent cleaning every time. The user can easily engage the cleaner using a simple push motion and the user will hear a “click” sound when the process is completed.
The MPO Cleaner is designed for cleaning the fiber arrays on MPO/MTP® based connectors. This tool is capable of cleaning MT based connector systems loaded in a bulkhead adapter and on unmated cable assemblies. The Quick Clean MPO Cleaners will clean both female (no guide pin) and male (with steel guide pin) patch panel. The tool will also clean both flat polished multimode and 8° angled singlemode MT ferrules.
- Simple dial turn engagement that is easy to operate
- Audible CLICK to alert the operator when cleaning is completed
- Clean over 600 end faces per unit
- Cleans male and female MT ferrule
- Nozzle is keyed for precise alignment of the cleaning tip to the fiber array
- Alignment cap lid opens for cleaning the unmated connectors
