WFW and FA1 - FiberWipes™ and FiberAide

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 One-Click Cleaner is an easy-to-use option for cleaning connectors on jumpers and in adapters. Simply insert the One-Click Cleaner into an adapter and push until an audible “click” is heard. The One-Click Cleaner uses the mechanical push action to advance an optical grade cleaning tape while the cleaning tip is rotated to ensure the fiber end-face is effectively, but gently cleaned. The One-Click Cleaner is a must-have for field technicians. Small enough to fit in a shirt pocket and a great addition to cleaning kits. Save your wrist – no more twist!

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.

The OPTIPOP-C cloth card cleaner uses a unique, densely woven micro fiber cloth that provides a superior connector cleaning performance. It minimizes static charge to ensure that dust and dirt particles are not instantly attracted back to the connector end-face. The card cleaner effectively removes contaminants such as oil, dust and dirt particulates that cause high insertion loss and reflectance that lead to connector damage and network failures.
