Fiber optic cables are connected one of two ways: mechanically or with fusion splicing. Fusion splicing occurs when the two glass endfaces are actually melted and joined together. Mechanical terminations are accomplished with a male jack--the ferrule--plugging into a female receptacle--the bulkhead. Each component contains a polished glass fiber end face. The two faces meet to allow light transmission.

The slower 1310 and 1550 nm frequencies (speed of fiber optic data transmission in nanometers) are more forgiving of impurities on end faces. Light is able to re-gather successfully and pass data. However, high-speed data flows of the newer 1625 nm standard are vulnerable to degradation by even the tiniest bit of grime. Surfaces must be cleaner than ever for fiber systems to work optimally. Any trace of cable pik, dust, finger oil, or inferior cleaner residue can lead to significant signal loss.   A cleaner is needed to meet such modern standards.
