May 15, 2007 |
New tools help installers and network owners improve uptime and reliability by eliminating end-face contamination
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, April 15, 2007 — Fluke Networks Canada (www.flukenetworks.ca) provider of innovative Network SuperVision Solutions™ for the testing, monitoring and analysis of enterprise and telecommunications networks, today announced the availability of a new miniature video microscope and fiber optic cleaning kits. These new products improve performance and reliability of fiber optic links.
“By far, the most common problem we see with fiber links is end-face contamination,” said Brad Masterson, product manager, Fluke Networks Canada. “And the problem is getting worse. Contamination and end-face damage increases attenuation and reflectance. With higher network data rates, the fiber links are even less tolerant of signal loss. Proper cleaning techniques are essential, and safe end-face inspection is critical.”
New inspection, cleaning tools result in better network performance
To help users get the best performance from fiber links, Fluke Networks is introducing the FiberInspector Mini, an exceptionally portable video microscope that lets users view both multimode and single-mode end-faces in crisp detail. FiberInspector Mini completely protects the user from exposure to harmful laser light.
Also new is the Fiber Optic Cleaning Kit. One element of the kit is a Fiber Optic Solvent Pen which uses a plastic-safe solvent with superior cleaning properties to isopropyl alcohol. Also included are Fiber Optic Cleaning Card and a Fiber Optic Cleaning Cube, both of which provide cleaning and wiping surfaces that are safe to fiber end-faces, and two sizes of Fiber Optic Swabs for cleaning inside fiber ports. The kit includes a rugged carrying case, and all items are also sold separately.
New online instructional video shows best practices for cleaning fiber end-faces
An animated, interactive demonstration showing proper use all of Fluke Networks’ fiber inspection and cleaning tools is available at www.flukenetworks.ca/fibercare. Following the best practices shown in this online video ensures effective removal of all types of contaminants and avoids costly, unexpected network downtime.

Fluke Networks’ new FiberInspector Mini and Fiber Optic Cleaning Kit products are available for immediate delivery from Fluke Networks’ sales partners worldwide.
