• Cleans up to 500 end-faces per cube for repeated field use
  Specialised solvent pen dissolves buffer gel and oils
  Lint-free wipes paired with solvent deliver wet-then-dry cleaning
  Port swabs for 1.25mm and 2.5mm sleeves reach internal ferrules
  Designed to minimise solvent residue by controlled evaporation
  Compact kit format supports organised storage and transport

**Applications**

• Suitable for routine maintenance of transceivers and patch panels
  Ideal for pre-installation inspection of factory-terminated cords
  Used with video microscopes for end-face verification and reporting
  Can be used for cleaning inside equipment ports and bulkheads
  Suitable for technicians in automation, electrical and electronics sectors

How does the solvent differ from isopropyl alcohol?

The solvent has lower surface tension, is oxygenated to neutralise charged particles and evaporates Faster than IPA to reduce residue formation.

How should wipes and swabs be used for best results?

Apply a small solvent spot to the wipe, start at the wet zone and swipe into a dry zone, then use a damp swab followed by a dry swab inside ports to remove remaining solvent.

What connector types do the swabs and tips support?

The kit includes swabs sized for 1.25mm and 2.5mm ferrules, enabling cleaning of LC, MU, SC, ST and similar port types.

Can images be captured for reporting during inspection?

When used with compatible video microscopes, images can be saved to document end-face condition for records and troubleshooting.

How is eye safety considered during inspection and cleaning?

Inspection using video probe displays avoids direct viewing of the Fibre end, preventing harmful laser exposure while cleaning and verifying end-face condition.
