 FC-HOLDER |
Four weeks ago in the Friday Fax we introduced the new FiberKleen microfiber towels in the durable, reusable DT-D175 box with attached cleaning pad. This week we introduce two additional packages. One is FC-HOLDER, a completely unique microfiber towel holder for precision cleaning. When cleaning ferrules or end faces, one must not wipe twice in the same spot on a towel. This avoids putting contaminants back on a fiber component from the towel itself. But how does one remember exactly where on a towel previous wipes took place? The FC-HOLDER provides 20 wiping "slots" for keeping track of just that. Fiber technicians simply clamp towels from the DT-D175 into the FC-HOLDER, which allows them to make up to 20 side-to-side cleaning swipes. This ensures good cleaning practice and economical towel usage. No other manufacturer offers this option; it's a Polywater invention. The reusable FC-HOLDER is the best-practice way to optimal fiber cleaning: mating chemical solvency with mechanical cleaning. Users ideally wet a slot on one side with either QuicKleen or AquaKleen solvent and wipe a ferrule across it (chemical solvency). Then follow up with one wipe across a dry slot on the other side (mechanical cleaning). The wet/dry FC-HOLDER approach provides precise, effective, economical results (~5¢ per cleaning). The other package to mention is DT-D175H, which is a kit containing one FC-HOLDER and one DT-D175 in a plastic bag. This is the package to promote. The DT-D175 and DT-D175R are essentially replacement items for high-volume users. Details on the new FC-HOLDER and various dry towel package options are included on the QuicKleen Fiber Cleaner product flyer. |
