Fiber Optic Center has added AFL's Splicer V-Groove Cleaning Kit to its website. The kit includes eight components for inspection and cleaning of any fusion fiber splicer.
Contamination in the v-groove of the splicer is a primary source of trouble for the splicing technician, especially with a fixed v-groove fusion splicer. Environmental contamination will offset the fibers and degrade splicing accuracy and subsequent fiber performance.
The kit includes:
Scrubber brush and sweeper brush
Eye loupe with 3X to 12X magnification
LED pen Light with momentary or constant on switching
Nonflammable, environmentally safe cleaning fluid and lint-free cotton swabs
Instruction sheet with illustrations and canvas carrying case
