Background
As optical communications becomes faster and larger in capacity, higher reliability is required for optical network equipment. One of the biggest factors that deteriorates the reliability is contamination on the end face of the optical connector. Optical connector cleaners are essential cleaning tools to eliminate this factor. As a pioneer in optical connector cleaners, NTT-AT, based on the technology of NTT Laboratories, has been offering a wealth of lineups in response to the needs of customers for many years.
The "NEOCLEAN-EZ1 Plus" added to the lineup at this time, is a cleaner for ODC connector cleaning. ODC connectors are outdoor optical connectors suitable for Fiber to the Antenna uses such as cell phone base stations etc. These connectors have excellent waterproof and dustproof functionality, but if there are dirty contaminants on the end face due to handling conditions before connecting, the signal may not be transmitted properly, or the contamination may be changed by surrounding temperature swings and aging, causing problems and unforeseen breakdowns. The "NEOCLEAN-EZ1 Plus" is designed to solve such problems. Even if the worker possess no special skills, just simply pushing the tip into the connector will clean the end face, easily and effectively eliminating troubles in optical communication equipment caused by contamination on the end face.
