Essential Cleaning Products for Your Data Center

Whether installing or maintaining fiber optic networks, AFL Hyperscale have a full range of tools, test equipment, and cleaning products to help you achieve the best possible performance.

As data centers strive to support an ever-increasingly connected world, it is more important than ever that best practices are followed when cleaning and inspecting fiber end faces. AFL Hyperscale’s industry-leading cleaning solutions ensure your data center operates at optimal performance levels with minimal service disruptions.

One-Click Cleaners

The One-Click® Cleaner is an easy-to-use option for cleaning fiber optic connectors on jumpers and in adapters. Simply insert the One-Click Cleaner into an adapter and push until an audible “click” is heard. The One-Click Cleaner uses the mechanical push action to advance an optical grade cleaning tape while the cleaning tip is rotated to ensure the fiber end-face is effectively, but gently, cleaned.

The AFL Hyperscale range of One-Click Cleaners is suitable for SC/ST/FC, MU/LC, Duplex LC, and MPO.

Cassette Cleaners

Cletop-SB Cassette Cleaner

The CLETOP-SB Cassette Cleaner is a rugged handheld tool for cleaning a variety of fiber optic connector end faces. CLETOP cleaners are a safe cleaning option without the need for isopropyl alcohol, which is toxic and flammable. CLETOP cleaners have refillable cleaning tapes with 400 cleans per tape making them ideal for lab and field use. The simple push-button shutter operation makes cleaning connectors quick and easy.

Cletop-MPO Cassette Cleaner

The CLETOP-MPO Cassette Cleaner is a rugged handheld tool for cleaning MPO and MTP® fiber optic connector end faces with pins. CLETOP cleaners are a safe cleaning option without the need for isopropyl alcohol, which is toxic and flammable. CLETOP cleaners have refillable cleaning tapes with 400 cleans per tape making them ideal for lab and field use.

Cleaning Accessories

Micro Sticks

Micro fiber sticks are the ideal consumable for cleaning 1.25mm bulkheads after installation. They can be used to clean the end faces of installed connectors from inside the enclosure. Cleaning is achieved by inserting the micro fiber tip inside the adapter’s aperture and twisting once. The micro fiber material allows the user to clean installed connector end faces without scratching the surface and ensures a perfect clean first time.

FCC2 Fiber Connector Cleaner Fluid

Easily and safely clean contaminants from fiber connector end-faces and optical fiber before field terminating or fusion splicing. The FCC2 Enhanced Formula Fiber Optic Cleaning and Preparation Fluid is a non-flammable, environmentally safe, residue free solvent engineered to easily remove contaminants from fiber optic end-faces and bare fiber. It outperforms alcohol IPA based cleaners without the health and safety risks. FCC2 is not hazardous and not regulated for all modes of transportation and shipping including air-cargo.

Clean Tissue

When polishing the ferrule of the connector it is essential that the process is kept clean, this ensures accurate and repeatable polishing. The recommended products to be used in the polishing process include low-lint tissues and de-ionized water. Low Lint tissues are a versatile consumable for many applications. They are mainly used to clean bare fiber as part of the termination or splicing process. The low-lint characteristic allows them to be used for a multitude of other purposes such as cleaning optical equipment and preparing work surfaces.
