Liam Taylor is European business manager, fiber optics, at Microcare, LLC, global manufacturer of the Sticklers brand of specialist fiber-optic cleaning tools. A long-time participant in information and communications technology (ICT) industry, Taylor is a member of the IES/SC 86B Working Group 4.
In the latest episode of the Cabling Podcast, Taylor recaps and expands upon the salient points of his recent article for Cabling Installation & Maintenance magazine, "Why fiber network cleaning is essential to colocation space success."
In the course of the discussion, Taylor and CI&M senior editor Matt Vincent also unpack the features and benefits of Sticklers' newly introduced "breakthrough" fiber-optic cleaning tool, the Pro360 Touchless Cleaner.
Designed to quickly and completely clean oils and dust across the entire endface of both male and female fiber-optic connector ends via a single push of a button, MicroCare contends that its Pro360 Touchless Cleaner stands to change the way fiber-optic technicians work, significantly improving fiber cleaning speed and effectiveness.
"Regardless of where a connector is along the network, contamination always has been and always will be the number one threat to network performance," asserts MicroCare's Taylor. "It's also the cheapest and easiest to prevent."
