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.

Splicer V-groove Cleaning Kit S014397 Splicer V-groove Cleaning Refill Kit S014416 CS-1 Cotton Swabs (pack of 25 swabs) S003719 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. Kit Includes • Scrubber Brush with stiff tapered nylon bristles • Sweeper Brush with soft nylon bristles • Eye Loupe with 3X to 12X magnification • LED Pen Light with momentary or constant on switching • Cleaning Fluid that is nonflammable and environmentally safe • Lint-free Cotton Swabs • Instruction Sheet with illustrations • Canvas Carrying Case Splicer V-groove Cleaning Kit Refill Kit Includes To replenish the consumables within the kit, AFL provides a refill kit that includes the following components: • One can of FCC2 Cleaning Fluid • One Scrubber Brush • One Sweeper Brush • Ten packs CS-1 Cotton Swabs (250 swabs) Splicer V-groove Cleaning Refill Kit CS-1 Cotton Swabs
Features:
- Lint-free with not contaminate optical elements
