press release

Previously, it was necessary to replace the guide cap when alternately cleaning the ferrules inside the connector plug and the ferrules inside the adapter. However, by integrating the tip of the cleaner with the guide cap, it is no longer necessary to replace the guide cap, achieving a reduction in cleaning time of approximately 45% compared to our previous products.

In addition, the integrated guide cap structure makes it easier to work in limited spaces and to clean while holding other tools.

Furthermore, improvements have been made to the internal structure of the cleaner, increasing the number of cleaning times to more than 775 times, approximately 1.5 times that of our previous products.

Furukawa Electric will continue to contribute to improving the workability of optical fiber communications construction work and building high-quality optical fiber networks.

*1 Ferrule

The name of the connecting part of Optcal Fiber inside the optical connector. Even tiny particles of dirt invisible to the naked eye can affect the transmission characteristics, so the ferrule end face must be cleaned with an optical cleaner before connection.

*2 Cleaning time reduced by approximately 45%

Test results conducted by our company under certain conditions. The work of replacing guide caps is eliminated, and time is saved by eliminating the work of checking caps and preventing mistakes.
