XpertClean For Optimal
Fiber Optic Cleaning
Softing products are designed for optimal cleaning of
connectors using the XpertClean process. The last
thing you want performance degradation due to a
dirty fiber optic end face in the connector, or even
worse, dust on one end face ground into the end face
of the mating connector scratching the surface
causing permanent damage.
Instead, when disconnecting fiber optic connectors
or before connecting fiber optic cables, best practive
is always to clean the end face, save a picture of the
end face using your fiber optic microscope, and then
test the cable.
The CleanMachine with XpertClean
process gives first time cleaning for all
common soils:
The XpertClean process is industry proven,
exceeding IEC 61300-3-35, I EC TR62627-01,
and meeting Telcordia GR-2923-CORE and SAE
Aerospace AIR6031.
Dry media can smear oils, not fully remove dry
particulates, and can create a static field that attracts
and holds onto additional debris. Wet cleaning can
oversaturate connectors, drawing up contamination
from around the ferrule as viewed in IEC 61300-3-35.
