Fujikura USC-03 Ultrasonic Cleaner
The Fujikura USC-03 Ultrasonic Cleaner is a compact optical fiber cleaning system designed for professional fiber preparation before high-strength fusion splicing. It provides a controlled ultrasonic cleaning process to help remove debris, coating residue, and contamination from exposed optical fiber cladding after stripping and before cleaving or splicing.
In high-strength fusion splicing applications, fiber cleanliness is critical. Residue left on the fiber can affect splice quality, glass strength, and long-term reliability. The USC-03 Ultrasonic Cleaner helps technicians and production users clean single optical fibers using high-frequency ultrasonic action while maintaining a simple, repeatable workflow.
The USC-03 supports Fujikura FH-40, FH-50, FH-70, and FH-100 series fiber holders. With the optional Universal Fiber Holder Adapter, it can also support FH-XXX series fiber holders for additional flexibility. This makes the USC-03 a practical accessory for specialty fiber preparation, laboratory processing, production environments, and demanding fusion splicing applications.
Reliable Optical Fiber Cleaning with the Fujikura USC-03 Ultrasonic Cleaner
The Fujikura USC-03 Ultrasonic Cleaner is designed to make fiber cleaning more consistent and easier to repeat. Its built-in timer helps ensure the required cleaning time is used for each fiber, while the adjustment knob allows precise control of fiber submersion depth.
- Ultrasonic fiber cleaning: Uses high-frequency ultrasonic action to help remove debris and coating residue from exposed optical fiber cladding.
- Designed for high-strength splicing: Helps prepare fibers for demanding fusion splicing applications where cleanliness and repeatability matter.
- Built-in timer: Supports consistent cleaning time with an adjustable timer range from 1 to 99 seconds.
- Adjustable submersion depth: The adjustment knob allows fine-tuning of how deeply the fiber is placed into the cleaning fluid.
- Fiber holder compatibility: Accepts FH-40, FH-50, FH-70, and FH-100 series fiber holders.
- Alcohol bath lid: Helps reduce cleaning fluid evaporation when the cleaner is idle.
Advanced Features and Benefits of the Fujikura USC-03 Ultrasonic Cleaner
The Fujikura USC-03 is especially useful when preparing fibers for high-strength fusion splices. After stripping, the exposed cladding may contain remaining coating particles or surface contamination. Ultrasonic cleaning helps remove this material without aggressive handling of the fiber.
The unit operates at an ultrasonic frequency of 50 kHz and provides up to 3.0 W output power. The cleaning length is adjustable up to 49 mm maximum, allowing technicians to match the cleaning area to the fiber preparation process. The recommended cleaning fluid is ≥99% ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol.
With a compact footprint and approximately 1 kg weight, the USC-03 is suitable for laboratory benches, production workstations, and specialized fiber preparation areas. It is also practical for organizations using Fujikura fiber holders and accessories as part of a controlled stripping, cleaning, cleaving, and splicing workflow.
