Fibre optic technology has revolutionised the way we communicate, transmit data, and share information. With its ability to transmit large amounts of data at high speeds over long distances, fibre optic technology has become the backbone of many modern communication systems, including internet service providers, data centres, and telecommunications companies.
However, for fibre optic technology to perform optimally, it is crucial to keep the fibre optic connectors clean and free of contaminants. Contaminants such as dust, debris, and oils can accumulate on the surface of the connector and interfere with the transmission of light, resulting in reduced signal strength, increased bit error rates, and decreased system performance.
To ensure that fibre optic connectors are always performing at their best, it is essential to regularly clean them. This is where the Sticklers™ Pro360™ Touchless Cleaner from Microcare comes into play.
As the name suggests, the Sticklers™ Pro360™ Touchless Cleaner is a contactless fibre optic cleaning tool that provides 360° cleaning of both male and female connector ends, with just the press of a button. The touchless cleaning technology ensures that the connector is thoroughly cleaned without any physical contact, which reduces the risk of damage to the connector and the fibre itself. A hand-held dispensing wand delivers a micro-dose of atomized cleaning fluid and pressurised air to clean the entire end face of the connector, right up to the ferrule edge, without any physical contact. This ensures that the connector is left perfectly clean and dry, without any contamination that could block the optical signal.
The compact design of the Sticklers™ Pro360™ Touchless Cleaner makes it small and portable, allowing technicians to take it with them wherever they need to perform high-performance end face connector cleaning. The tool can be powered either by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries or the AC power supply. The kit comes with multiple size adapters for cleaning flexibility and a rechargeable cleaning fluid cartridge that provides up to 2,700 contactless cleans.
The Sticklers™ Pro360™ Touchless Cleaner is an excellent solution for FTTH, FTTA, and data centre applications, as well as for connectors used in aviation, naval, and military applications. The cleaning fluid contains no hazardous materials and can be shipped anywhere in the world by ground, air, or sea without restrictions. It contains less than 88mls, which means it is permitted to be carried through airport security screenings worldwide.
The Sticklers™ Pro360™ Touchless Fibre Connector Cleaner is the future of high-performance fibre optic end face cleaning. With its innovative contactless cleaning technology, portability, and low cost per clean, this groundbreaking tool "changes the way fibre optic professionals work and significantly improves their fibre cleaning speed and effectiveness."
