Argosy Extends Fibre Management Tool Range At BVE North

A leading international supplier of HD broadcast cables and studio infrastructure products, will showcase the latest additions to its fibre optic portfolio at BVE North next month.
Argosy will debut the award-winning Fibre Optic Cleaning Tool set. 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.
"This very simple, yet effective fibre optic cleaning tool was introduced earlier this month at IBC to rapturous applause.
"Compact and easy to use, this tool is already playing a very important role in keeping fibre contacts clean," said Chris Smeeton at Argosy.
"Engineers in studios and out in the field can use this cleaning tool quickly and effectively as it does not require power to activate."
This Fibre Optic Cleaning Tool received a 2011 STAR (Superior Technology Award Recipient) Award at IBC 2011.
This award is designed to celebrate and showcase the preeminent technological innovations available to the broadcast industry.
