Type FO™ Fiber Optic Cleaner is great for cleaning glass fiber end faces for better light transmission performance. Type FO removes dust, oil, and other contaminants, and leaves no residue. The anhydrous alcohol in Type FO is water-free. Avoidance of water is important in fiber optic cleaning.
Improper cleaning is the top cause of network failures. The tolerance to dirt or contamination on the ends of the ferrules of a connector is near zero. Network operators claim that 15-50% of all network problems can be traced to dirty connectors causing connection problems.
Mitigate the risk of fiber optic contamination with fiber optic cleaners, fiber cleaning pens, and cleaning wipes. These handy fiber cleaners can remove contaminants like: dust, dirt, oils, film residue, and solvent coating.
Airborne dirt particles are about the size of the core of SM fiber and are usually silica-based - they may scratch PC connectors if not removed! Patch panels have mating adapters that can become contaminated if left open to the air or scrape off foreign particles under repeated usage. We recommend you always keep dust caps on connectors, bulkhead splices, patch panels, or anything else that is going to have a connection made with it.
