February 2, 2016 – Fiber Optic Center (FOC) has added the Splicer V-groove cleaning kit—which integrates eight components—to their website offerings.

Contamination in the v-groove of the splicer is still a primary source of trouble for the splicing technician, FOC says, and this is especially problematic when splicing with a fixed v-groove fusion splicer.

The kit (part number S014397) includes:
•    Scrubber brush with stiff tapered nylon bristles and sweeper brush with soft nylon bristles,
•    Eye loupe with 3X to 12X magnification,
•    LED pen light with momentary or constant on switching,
•    Cleaning fluid that is non-flammable as well as environmentally safe and lint-free cotton swabs,
•    Instruction sheet with illustrations and canvas carrying case.
