IBC

IBC cleaner pens are available for different connector types. For example, the IBC 9392 model cleans E2000, FC, SC, and ST connectors with APC and UPC polishes. The IBC 9393 model is designed for LC and MU connectors. The IBC 7104 model targets MT ferrule-based multi-fiber connectors. Each pen is specific to certain connector interfaces, so selecting the correct model for your connector type is important. The pens feature a straight tip for cleaning adapters and ferrule connections, and some include a dust cap lanyard to keep the tip protected when not in use.

The IBC 14708 cleaner cassette provides 400 cleaning cycles per cassette. This cassette is designed for multimode connectors including LC, MPO, MT, MTP, and MTRJ types. It eliminates electrostatic charge during cleaning, which helps prevent recontamination. The cycle count is a key specification for planning maintenance intervals and ensuring you have enough consumables on hand. For higher cycle counts, IBC cleaner pens offer up to 1,050 cycles, such as the 9392 model. The appropriate choice depends on your cleaning volume and connector types.

IBC one-push cleaner pens are handheld tools designed for cleaning individual connectors and adapters. They typically provide 525 to 1,050 cleaning cycles and are available for specific connector types like LC, MU, E2000, FC, SC, and ST. Cleaning cassettes, such as the IBC 14708, are used for cleaning multiple connectors, particularly multi-fiber types like MPO and MTP, and provide 400 cycles. Cassettes are often used in data center environments for higher-volume cleaning. Both types eliminate the need for manual cleaning with swabs and solvents, reducing the risk of human error and contamination.

Yes, certain IBC cleaner pens are designed to clean both APC and UPC polished connectors. For example, the IBC 9392 model supports E2000, FC, SC, and ST connectors with APC and UPC polishes. The cleaning mechanism is engineered to be safe for these polished end faces, removing contaminants without damaging the ferrule. It is important to verify the specific model's compatibility with your connector polish type, as not all cleaners support both. The product specifications provided by 3G Electric include this information for each SKU.

The dust cap lanyard on IBC cleaner pens, such as models 9392 and 9393, attaches the dust cap to the pen body. This prevents the cap from being lost or misplaced when the pen is in use. The cap protects the cleaning tip from contamination when the pen is not in use, helping to maintain its effectiveness. A lost cap could expose the tip to dust and debris, which could then be transferred to connectors during cleaning. The lanyard ensures the cap remains with the tool, supporting proper maintenance practices.
