OPTOKON CLN-04 Maintenance Clean Kit — a specialized kit for cleaning fiber-optic connectors and optical network components (FON), ensuring proper maintenance, reducing signal loss, and increasing connection reliability. This kit is designed for professional use during installation, maintenance, and repair of optical cable systems.
The kit allows cleaning connector end-faces, patch cords, and adapters, removing dust, oil, gel residues, or other contaminants that can affect signal transmission quality.
Main Features
Parameter / Property | Description / Value / Detail |
Product Type | Maintenance / Cleaning Kit for Fiber-Optic Connectors |
Purpose | Cleaning connector end-faces, patch cords, adapters; FON maintenance |
Connector Compatibility | Wide range of optical connectors (depends on kit — recommended to check) |
Cleaning Type | Manual cleaning (using wipes, lint-free materials, or other kit components) |
Designed For | Installation, maintenance, repair, and preventive care of optical connections |
Material Safety | Uses lint-free wipes / soft materials compatible with optical connectors |
Important: when working with alcohol-based or volatile cleaners, follow safety rules — such substances evaporate easily, can accumulate indoors, and may pose fire or toxic hazards.
Comparative Characteristics — CLN-04 vs Other Cleaning Tools
Criterion / Aspect | CLN-04 Maintenance Clean Kit | Alternative Tools (sticks, roll cleaners, pens, etc.) |
Versatility | Professional kit — suitable for different types of connectors and FON components | Depends on type — some are only suitable for ports/adapters, others only for fiber |
Comprehensiveness | Complete kit for cleaning end-faces, patch cords, adapters — "all-in-one" | Often separate tools: wipes, sticks, sprays — may require additional purchases |
Fiber and Connector Safety | Uses lint-free materials, suitable cleaning fluids — minimizes risk of damage | Depends on quality — cheap wipes or inappropriate liquids may increase risk of scratches or residue |
Suitability for High-Speed Lines | Proper cleaning methods recommended for high-speed FON | May have limitations if special tools are not used |
Convenience and Resource Efficiency | One kit, organized storage, ready to use "out of the box" | Often requires selecting components separately and keeping multiple tools |
