Dirt, dust, and other particles are the leading cause of failures in optical networks. USCONEC offers a wide variety of connector cleaning and inspection kits. The need is to ensure connection integrity, which requires verifying both male (patch cords) and female (patch panel) connectors. The IBC 2.5 devices for SC, FC, E2000, and ST connectors, and the IBC 1.25 for LC and MU, are the right tool for quickly cleaning patch cords and ODFs.
