How to Use a One-Click Cleaner?

With the deployment of 40G and 100G systems in the data center reliable and efficient fiber installations are critical to the high performance network. Dirt, dust and other contaminants are the enemies of high-speed data transmission over optical fiber. Hence, it is critical that all optical connections are free of contaminants to avoid having application performance issue. Ideally, a properly maintained and cleaned fiber optic cable will help reduce contaminant transfer to a removable or non-removable optical interface, lessening or removing the need to clean expensive and delicate gear. With one-click cleaner you can clean optical connectors even if they are installed in racks, boxes and other sub-rack terminations, allowing you to remove all dust and dirt that could affect the perfect data transmission of the optic network. How to use a one-click cleaner? Let’s read the article now.
One-Click Cleaner Overview
The one-click cleaner is an easy-to-use option for cleaning connectors on jumpers and in adapters. Simply insert the one-click cleaner into an adapter and push until an audible “click” is heard. The one-click cleaner uses the mechanical push action to advance an optical grade cleaning tape while the cleaning tip is rotated to ensure the fiber end-face is effectively, but gently cleaned. There are three types of one-click cleaners, depending on the need and the type of fiber connectors, a 1.25mm one-click cleaner for LC/MU type fibers, a 2.5mm one-click cleaner for SC/ST/FC type fibers and an MPO/MTP one-click cleaner for MPO/MTP type fibers.

Cleaning Connectors Installed In Adapters (Bulkhead Applications)
1. Remove the guide cap and cover from the cleaner tip.
2. Insert cleaner tip into adapter.
3. Push the cleaner body to start cleaning the connector end face until you hear an audible “click” sound indicating the cleaning process is complete.

2.5mm SC/ST/FC One-Click Cleaner User Guide
2.5mm one-click cleaner is an easy-to-use option for cleaning SC, ST and FC connectors in adapters and exposed 2.5mm ferrules. Each In-Adapter Cleaner delivers up to 800 cleanings to remove a variety of contaminates including dusts and oils.
SC/ST/FC One-Click Cleaner User Guide

NOTE:
Drawing shows SC connector, but the product may also be used to clean ST and FC connectors. Do not tilt, angle, or slant the cleaner while inserting the tip into the adapter. Do not use excessive force during insertion as this may damage the connector and/or cleaner. If resistance is experienced while pushing the cleaner body toward the adapter, remove the cleaner tip from the adapter and inspect for contamination on the tip and in the adapter.

MPO/MTP One-Click Cleaner User Guide
MPO/MPT one-click cleaner is designed to clean MPO and MTP multi-fiber connectors used in data centers and other high density optical networks, which simplifies cleaning of the ferrule end-face of both MPO/MTP exposed connectors and connectors in adapters. As with all one-click cleaner, the MPO/MPT one-click cleaner uses the innovative push-to-clean design. The mechanical push action advances the optical grade cleaning tape while effectively and gently cleaning the end-face of the connector.
MPO/MTP One-Click Cleaner
Cleaning Connectors Installed In Adapters (Bulkhead Applications)
1. Pull off the guide cap.
2. Insert the cleaning tool into the bulkhead and turn the cleaning wheel backwards until “click” 2 times.
Cleaning Connectors Not Installed In Adapters
3. Carefully pull out the guide cap cover.
4. Insert the patch cord into the cleaning tool, apply slight pressure and turn the cleaning wheel backwards until “click” 2 times.

What Is VLAN Switch and Why Do We Need It?

图片
VLAN or virtual LAN is a type of LAN that is defined to map workstations based on everything except for geographic location. It develops when the network has increased in size and complexity, and many companies require more access ports or a network design. Basically, it’s a networking technology which allows the network to be segmented logically without geographic restrictions. But how much do you know about VLAN switch? What Is  VLAN Switch? VLAN switch is built on the fiber optic switch  of LAN, which realizes the division and management of logical working group as a software. As defined in IEEE standard 802.1Q, VLAN switch can provide a way to transform one network into multiple broadcast domains. And each broadcast domain is usually matched with IP subnet boundaries, so that each subnet has its own VLAN. Therefore, users can obtain various wired LANs for different purposes that are co-existed physically, which means you don’t need to buy additional hardware or c...

Differentiate the 3 Technologies: Switch Stacking vs Cascading vs Clustering

图片
When we have more than one switches on hand we often seek to a better way in making use of them and managing them. There are mainly three technologies that we might use when we interconnect or combine several switches together, which are switch stacking, cascading and clustering. For many people that firstly get in touch with these terms, they can’t figure out the differences between them. Some discussions of the switch stacking versus switch clustering and switch stacking versus switch cascading have been put forward, but a comprehensive comparison between them has not been made. So this post is a discussion of switch stacking vs cascading vs clustering. Switch Stacking vs Cascading vs Clustering The comparison of switch stacking, cascading and clustering should be based on knowing the meaning of these technologies. So firstly we will see what switch stacking, cascading and cluster are. What Are Switch Stacking, Cascading and Clustering? Switch stack...

Nylon Zip Ties vs Hook-&-Loop (Velcro®) Ties

图片
The confinement system is the last but critical part of the entire cable management systems. Cable tie plays a very important role in this part. However, there are various types of cable ties in the market. Which one is better? Since nylon zip ties and hook-&-loop (Velcro®) ties are most common and controversial. This tutorial will compare these two types of cable ties in details. Overview of Cable Ties Cable ties are cheap and simple components used in cable confinement system. They are usually the last measure to ensure the cable managed in order. Cable ties are available in a variety of sizes and materials for use on different applications with different requirements. In addition, there are various of color options for cable ties. These color codes help users to manage the cabling and achieve easy troubleshooting. The most commonly used formats of cable ties are nylon zip ties and hook-&-loop (Velcro®) ties, as the Figure 1 & 2 shown: Figure 1. Drawin...
