AFL 8500-11-0058MZ OPTIPOP-RS Fiber Connector Cleaner, 6-Refills

Overview

The AFL 8500-11-0058MZ OPTIPOP-RS is a set of six replacement tape refills designed for OPTIPOP-R series cassette-style fiber optic cleaners. These refills ensure consistent maintenance of fiber end-faces in both field and data center environments, helping to maintain signal integrity by removing contamination from connector ferrules.

Each refill tape is constructed from densely woven, anti-static micro-fiber cloth. This material is specifically chosen to capture particulates without leaving behind debris or inducing static charge, which is critical for protecting sensitive optical components.

These refills are compatible with OPTIPOP-R1, R2, R3, and R4 cassette cleaners, providing an economical way to extend the service life of existing cleaning hardware. Each of the six reels provides 25 feet of cleaning tape, capable of performing over 400 cleans per reel.

Key Features

• High-Capacity Refills
  Includes six individual replacement reels, providing an efficient supply for high-volume cleaning tasks.
• Anti-Static Material
  The densely woven micro-fiber tape prevents the buildup of static electricity, which helps reduce the re-attraction of dust to the connector.
• Dry-Cloth Cleaning
  Utilizes a dry-cleaning process that eliminates the need for potentially hazardous solvents, making it safe for standard fiber maintenance.
• Extended Service Life
  Each 25-foot reel supports over 400 cleaning cycles, offering a low cost-per-clean ratio.
• Broad Compatibility
  Designed to work seamlessly with the full range of OPTIPOP-R1, R2, R3, and R4 cleaning cassettes.
• Compact Refill Design
  Easy-to-install reel format minimizes downtime during field maintenance or data center service.

Applications

• Data center fiber optic network maintenance
• Fiber connector end-face inspection and cleaning
• Field installation of fiber optic cabling
• Maintenance of fiber optic test equipment interfaces
