Sticklers® Fibre Optic Cleaners Hails Exhibition a Success

Together with distributor, FibreKnight, the team at Sticklers® Fibre Optic Cleaning Products demonstrated its cutting-edge products to the decision makers in core industries who use fibre optic technology, including military and aerospace companies. John Cotterill, Technical Director of FibreKnight, explained why it is so important to clean fibre optics: “Cleanliness of the end faces of fibre optic contacts is essential in maintaining the optimum data carrying capabilities of a fibre optic link, particularly within the aerospace and military land based communities. A lack of end face cleaning will lead to cross contamination and degradation of the quality of the optical interface and, in time, lead to irreparable damage to the fibre core from compacted debris, resulting in a need to replace the fibre optic contact or interconnect. Sticklers® Fibre Optic Cleaning Products provide the user with the complete solution for all of their cleaning requirements.”

Scott Wells, MicroCare Business Development Manager - Europe said: “FOHEC is an extremely valuable event for Sticklers® Fibre Optic Cleaning Products, and was an ideal platform in which to introduce our portfolio to industry leaders and those people that understand the importance of keeping fibre optics clean. It was a very successful event for us and one which helped to open doors to new companies.”

The whole Sticklers® Fibre Optic Cleaning Product range was on display at FOHEC, including the Sticklers® Fibre Optic Cleaning Kit. Designed to contain everything needed to ensure field technicians can clean fibre networks quickly and effectively, the kit ensures that all the tools needed for the job are accessible when in harsh environments.

Containing all the essentials, from a fibre optic cleaning solvent, Sticklers® Cleaning Fluid, which features the Triton™ 3 way dispenser, which is both non-flammable and supplied in a non-aerosol package, together with CleanWipes™ and Cleanstixx™ connector cleaners, the kits can be easily shipped and stored anywhere.

Sticklers® Fibre Optic Cleaning Products are specified and widely used for fibre splices, jumpers and connectors in a wide range of market segments from telecommunications, defence, medical, cable and engineering industries.
