Fluke Networks’ Fiber Optic Cleaning Kits contain the best fiber optic cleaning tools and products to effectively remove the toughest contaminants in any optical fiber cable (OFC) network. With a variety of kit options available, you can choose between the easy-to-use Quick Clean™ Cleaners, the convenient cleaning cube/card, and the best optic solvent pen to clean both patch cords and fiber end faces inside ports. Each of the eight fiber optic cleaning kits include products and materials that are lint-free and enable an optimal wet or dry cleaning process.
These customized solvents are more effective than the old isopropyl alcohol (IPA) method used to clean fiber end faces. These new solvents are more effective than IPA at dissolving many contaminants found on optical fiber cables, especially non-ionic compounds like bugger gel and pulling lube.

What Causes Fiber Optic Link Failure?
Contamination is the #1 cause of fiber optic link failure. Dirt, dust and other contaminants are the enemies of high-speed data transmission over optical fiber. Today’s OFC network applications require more bandwidth than ever, making loss budgets tighter than ever. That’s why it is critical that all optical connections are free of contaminants to avoid having application performance issues.
