Features:
- Scrubber Brush with stiff tapered nylon bristles
- Sweeper Brush with soft nylon bristles
- Eye Loupe with 3X to 12X magnification
- FCC2 Cleaning Fluid that is nonflammable and environmentally safe
Applications:
- Remove environmental contamination from the v-groove of the splicer (dust, dirt, fiber coating debris, and silica deposits)
- Maintains performance and ensures fiber alignment
- Proper v-groove cleaning regimen ensures the splice is right the first time
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.
