Description
Lubricant that increases installation distance when blowing fiber optic micro cable.
Polywater® Prelube 5000™ is a lubricant that’s formulated exclusively for reducing frictional drag during the blowing of small diameter, fiber optic micro cable into microtube duct. Unique chemistry allows this lubricant to spread farther in the microduct and reduce friction at extremely low coating levels.
Polywater® Prelube 5000™ Cable Blowing Lubricant
- For microfiber/microduct applications
- Works at very low coating thickness and allows long-distance installations
- Evenly coats microduct with an ultra-thin layer and lubricates after drying
Fiber Optic Cleaning
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.
