Argosy Extends Fibre Management Tool Range At IBC

Argosy, a leading international supplier of HD broadcast cables and studio infrastructure products, will introduce the latest additions to its fibre portfolio, the Fibre Optic Cleaning Tool set at IBC 2011.
Designed to clean SMPTE and traditional Telco fibre optic connectors on cables and those located in panel adaptors, this tool uses a dry cleaning strand that wipes and lifts any dirt or residue away without the need for solvents.
Perfect for an engineer's toolkit, this easy to use device allows a full clean to be performed in one extremely simple operation - where an audible clink indicates the process has been completed. Each tool offers a minimum of 525 cleans.
The SMPTE camera cable tool also delivers the benefit of allowing users to clean connectors without the need to remove alignment ferrules, thereby negating the need for additional tools - or indeed the potential for loosing the alignment sleeves.
Argosy's Chris Smeaton said: "We are delighted to be introducing what is essentially a very simple tool but one that plays an important role in keeping fibre contracts clean. It is easy to use, is field operable and does not require power to activate - making it perfect not only for engineers in studio environments but also those working on Outside Broadcast trucks or remote locations."
Visitors to the Argosy stand at IBC 2011 will also see a full range of HD infrastructure products including, a collection of video, audio and power cables, connectors, rack systems ad well as an array of video accessories.
