Why Clean Fiber Optics?
Perfectly clean fiber end-faces are crucial to a network startup.
-
The Reason to Clean is Simple: Contamination Causes Signal Loss & Network Breakdown
Back reflectance, frequency loss, scratched or pitted end-face surfaces are common when end-faces are not cleaned prior to start up.
-
Common Contaminants Degrade the Light Signal.
• Dust on the sleeve pushes into the contact zone of the mated connector pair
• The mating force between the two ferrules is ~ 15,000psi in the contact zone
• The dust breaks apart, grinds into the ceramic and glass causing scratches and pits on both end-faces
• Oil based contamination or residue from skin oils and dust caps causes back reflectance -
Do It Right the First Time
Don’t be that technician who speeds by a cleaning step then has to spend more money and time going back to do the job right. Clean and inspect the ferrule end-faces, male and female, during install to achieve the c lean and reliable network you desire.
Keep a Sticklers™ Fiber Optic Cleaning Kit ready and waiting for your next network startup.
