Description
Used for communication cables, this pulling lubricant is ideal for longer underground cable pulls.
Polywater® F Lubricant is for pulling underground fiber optic cable and coaxial copper-pair cable, which require low tension pulling. The pourable liquid formula of this long-distance cable-pulling lubricant wets and clings to cables and evenly coats the jacket surface to greatly reduce friction on longer-distance pulls.
Polywater® F
- Can be poured into innerducts and feeder tubes
- Consistently coats cable jackets for long cable pulls
- Leaves a slippery residue for lasting lubrication
Improper cleaning is the top cause of network failures. The tolerance to dirt or contamination on the ends of the ferrules of a connector is near zero. Network operators claim that 15-50% of all network problems can be traced to dirty connectors causing connection problems.
Mitigate the risk of fiber optic contamination with fiber optic cleaners, fiber cleaning pens, and cleaning wipes. These handy fiber cleaners can remove contaminants like: dust, dirt, oils, film residue, and solvent coating.
Airborne dirt particles are about the size of the core of SM fiber and are usually silica-based - they may scratch PC connectors if not removed! Patch panels have mating adapters that can become contaminated if left open to the air or scrape off foreign particles under repeated usage. We recommend you always keep dust caps on connectors, bulkhead splices, patch panels, or anything else that is going to have a connection made with it.
