Overview
The AFL CLETOP S 8500-10-0021MZ Replacement Reel Cartridge is an essential consumable component designed for use with anti-static CLETOP-S ferrule cleaning cassettes. This replacement reel features a specialized 2-µm coarse-weave dry cleaning tape, specifically engineered to provide effective cleaning for 2.5-mm fiber optic ferrules.
By utilizing a capillary action mechanism, the tape lifts and traps contaminants such as dust, oil, and grease into micro-pockets within the cloth weave, ensuring a thorough clean that prevents transmission loss. This replacement system is designed for quick and easy field installation, maintaining operational efficiency during fiber optic maintenance and installation tasks.
