A fusion splicer is the most expensive tool in the van, and the fastest way to ruin splice results is a dirty V-groove or contaminated electrodes. Dust and cladding debris in the V-groove misaligns the fibre before the arc even fires, and the machine will happily report a low estimated loss on a splice that is mechanically compromised.
The Jonard puts the right cleaning tools for a fusion splicer in one box - the correct swabs, brushes and solvent for V-grooves, electrodes, clamps and the surrounding machine, rather than improvising with whatever is in the toolbox.
What it's good for
- V-groove cleaning between splices - the single highest-value maintenance step
- Electrode cleaning and maintenance
- Fibre holder and clamp cleaning
- Reducing splice loss and re-splice rates
- Routine preventative maintenance to protect an expensive splicer
