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

OPTIPOP-R fiber optic connector cleaners are rugged palm-sized units that offer exceptional performance field-proven by technicians over years of service. OPTIPOP-R is the preferred choice and trusted brand of communications service providers worldwide.

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.

CLETOP (ACT) adapter cleaning sticks offered by AFL are an easy and efficient means of cleaning fiber optics connectors in adapters and cleaning alignment sleeves.
