FS One-Push Cleaner Introduction and User Guide

With the deployment of 40G and 100G systems in data centers, reliable and efficient fiber installations are critical to high-performance networks. Properly maintained and cleaned fiber optic cables will help reduce contaminants from optical interfaces and avoid interference with data transmission. FS One-Push Cleaner with compact construction are designed for fiber optic cables, adapters, and transceivers. Even if the optical interfaces are installed in racks, boxes and other subrack terminals, you can also clean easily. How to use the One-Push Cleaner? Let's take a look at this article now.

FS One-Push Cleaner Overview

The One-Push Cleaner is used to clean connectors in patch cords and adapters. By inserting the fiber cleaner into the connector and using mechanical pushing action to advance the optical grade cleaning tape while the cleaning tip is rotated to ensure the fiber end-face is effectively, but gently cleaned. Depending on the type of fiber optic connector, FS has three types of fiber cleaners, 1.25mm fiber optic cleaner for LC/MU type fiber, 2.5mm fiber optic cleaner for SC/ST/FC type fiber, and MPO/MTP push cleaner for MPO/MTP type fibers. FS one-push cleaner works with two brands: NEOCLEAN®-M and US Conec IBC™. The following are specific descriptions and user guides for the two brands of cleaners for different connectors.
