FCP Field Portable Connector Cleaning Kits

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

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.

CCT Connector Cleaning Tips are a unique technology in fiber connector end-face cleaning. Rather than a fabric-covered or foam-covered stick, CCTs are molded cleaning tips that trap contamination and wick cleaning solvents away from connector end-faces. These tips use a molded, sintered polymer that is both porous and pliable, conforming to virtually any fiber end-face polish geometry while trapping and absorbing contaminants. Designed to be used with AFL's FCC2 Connector Cleaning Fluid for consistent and reliable connector cleaning results. CCT Connector Cleaning Tips offered by AFL are intended for cleaning the ferrule end-faces in adapters and sockets, as well as the exposed ferrules and termini of jumpers. CCTs are available for most commercial and Military Specification ferrule sizes.

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.
