AFL Fusion Splicer V-Groove Cleaning Kit

The AFL Splicer V-Groove Cleaning Kit combines eight essential tools into an affordable, effective solution for inspecting and cleaning any fusion splicer. Lightweight and portable, the kit fits easily into a Fujikura fusion splicer transit case or can be carried independently in its included canvas carrying case.

Modern fiber optic fusion splicers are fast and reliable, requiring minimal maintenance thanks to advancements in splicing technology. However, contamination in the splicer’s v-groove remains a leading cause of fiber misalignment and splice failure, especially in fixed v-groove fusion splicers. Dust, dirt, fiber coating debris, and silica deposits from the fusion process can accumulate in the grooves, affecting splice quality and overall performance.

That’s why the AFL Splicer V-Groove Cleaning Kit is an essential part of any splicing technician’s toolkit. It helps ensure clean grooves, precise alignment, and consistent, first-time splice success.
