FTTA (Fiber-to-the-Antenna) systems are a powerful network design where a fiber optic network connects the remote radio head (RRH) of a wireless network directly to the base station. This replaces heavy and expensive copper coax.
The advantages of a reliable FTTA network are obvious: signal strength, lower energy consumption, network simplicity, reduction in noise-inducing coaxial jumpers and tower amplifiers, more convenient engineering, higher capacity, and lighter weights. The weakness of the fiber is that it must be clean to deliver the speed and reliability network operators demand.
That's where the Sticklers™ FTTA Cleaning Kit comes in. It delivers clean, reliable fiber on the first try, eliminating time-wasting re-cleaning and minimizing expensive repair call-outs.
Common Questions About Fiber Optic Cleaning Kit, FTTA
What is the Sticklers FTTA Fiber Optic Cleaning Kit used for?
The Sticklers FTTA Cleaning Kit is designed to clean fiber optic connector end faces in fiber to the antenna networks, supporting over 1,500 cleanings to maintain signal integrity and network performance.
Which connectors does the FTTA cleaning kit support?
This kit supports 1.25mm connectors such as LC, MU, SFP+, ODC, CS, ARINC801, NGCON, and LUXCIS, along with pin termini used in ODC and MIL style connectors commonly found in tower and antenna deployments.
Why is fiber cleaning critical in FTTA systems?
FTTA systems replace coax with fiber to reduce weight, noise, and power loss. Any contamination on fiber end faces can reduce signal strength and reliability, making proper cleaning essential to avoid performance degradation and repeat service visits.
What makes this kit ideal for tower and field technicians?
The kit includes cleaning tools for both lightly and heavily contaminated connectors, portable click cleaners, optical grade wipes, and a durable high visibility bag, making it well suited for on tower and ground level work.
