Description

A fast, safe and efficient high-voltage/medium-voltage (HV/MV) and fiber optic cable preparation and multipurpose cleaner.APolywater® Type RP™

  • Evaporates quickly and leaves no residue
  • Removes oils and grime before splicing
  • Non-toxic, safe for plastics

Fiber Optic Cleaning

Improper cleaning is the top cause for 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.

Features

Features

  • FAST ACTING Evaporates quickly and leaves no residue
  • PROVEN Approved by cable manufacturers
  • SAFE Excellent alternative to volatile halogenated solvents
  • TESTED High dielectric strength of 56kV meets IEEE 1493
  • CONVENIENT Practical packaging for fast, easy cable cleaning

Product Notes

  • The PEL-PAC® System promotes proper cleaning techniques and limits the use of excess solvent. Pre-saturated wipes contain a carefully measured quantity of solvent and are an excellent way to control vapor. Using a measured solvent quantity on each wipe allows users to maintain solvent vapor below occupational exposure limits (OELs). Additionally, this design eliminates spill and ingestion hazards.
  • Passes IEEE 1493 Physical Compatibility with rubbers and plastics.
  • Passes IEEE 1493 Electrical Compatibility with insulation shield.
  • Clean, non-linting wipes use hydroentangled, synthetic fibers.
  • Does not stress crack polycarbonate.
  • Good dielectric strength: >40 kV, ATM D877 100 mil gap.
  • Low residue (<100 ppm).
  • Fast evaporating.
  • Non-corrosive to copper and other metals.
