[AusNOG] Fibre Cleaner

[Matt Didcoe]

Hey Sean,

We're using Fujikura one-click cleaners with great success (getting our IT guys that do the patching to clean is a success in itself).  The nice thing about the one-click cleaner is that there is no tricks - one cleaner does the FOBOT and patch leads. You will need one for SC and one for LC though.

AFC are selling them (http://www.afcgroup.com.au/products/fibre-optic-cleaning-products/one-click-connector-cleaners) which is where we bought some from - I couldn't tell you the price off the top of my head though.

Cheers,
Matt

Hi All.

Does anyone know where to source a Fibre-Cleaning Pen from?
(Preferably locally in Brisbane but mail order would be fine).

Any Idea of the cost?

Ideally one that will clean SCA / SC Sockets, SC/SCA Leads and LC Connectors.

Any tricks that a newcomer should be aware of?

I have a dodgy LX optic run that I need to squeeze an extra couple of db of light out of since it’s going through 18 (YES 18) Cable segments from One DC to the Next DC. ;)

Reply On or Off list is fine, I’m sure it would be handy knowledge for others.

Hope to see you all at the ‘Nog in a few days time.
