Gator™ Optical Fiber And Component Cleaner For Fusion Splicing And Termination

KrellTech’s Gator™ Optical Fiber Cleaner offers a superior alternative to traditional lint-free wipes for high-precision fiber preparation. Its distinguishing feature is a scratchless, lint-free cushioned pad system that conforms to the shape of the fiber, ensuring thorough cleaning of the entire circumference in a single pass. This "compress and pull" action effectively removes buffer residue and airborne contaminants, which is essential for minimizing splice loss and optimizing alignment during fusion splicing procedures. Unlike standard wipes that expose users to chemicals, the Gator™ design eliminates direct skin contact with cleaning solvents, promoting a safer working environment for lab and field technicians.

Designed for versatility, the Gator™ is capable of cleaning a wide array of fiber types, ranging from standard single-mode and multimode to specialized ribbon, sapphire, quartz, and chalcogenide fibers. It is also highly effective for cleaning non-optical components such as medical catheters and probe tubing. Each unit is durable enough to clean dozens of fibers before disposal, making it a cost-effective solution for large-scale deployment. Available in convenient benchtop dispensers or bulk packs of 50, the Gator™ ensures that production floors and field service kits are always stocked with reliable, high-performance cleaning tools.
