Cooke Tokki TP-125 MK III Automatic Fiber Optic Cable Cleaner w/ Foot Pedal

Cooke Tokki TP-125 MK III Automatic Fiber Optic Cable Cleaner w/ Foot Pedal

The Cooke/Tokki TP-125 MK III is a benchtop automatic fiber optic cable end-face cleaner designed for precision cleaning and polishing of fiber optic connectors. Manufactured by Tokki Corporation of Tokyo, Japan and sold and serviced in North America by The Cooke Corporation, this machine automates the fiber end-face preparation process using a motorized abrasive wheel and polishing mechanism. The foot pedal allows hands-free cycle actuation, keeping the operator's hands free to position the fiber connector.

Applications

The TP-125 MK III is used for automated cleaning and polishing of fiber optic cable end-faces — a critical step in fiber optic connector termination and maintenance. Properly polished fiber end-faces minimize insertion loss and back-reflection, which are essential to the performance of optical networks, telecom infrastructure, cable TV headends, and laboratory fiber optic test setups. This type of benchtop cleaner/polisher is standard equipment in fiber optic termination shops, telecommunications equipment rooms, and optical research labs. The foot-pedal actuation is particularly useful in production environments where throughput matters and the operator needs both hands on the fiber and connector during the polishing cycle. Equipment of this generation — mid-1990s through early 2000s — was widely used as fiber optic deployment expanded rapidly in telecom and enterprise networking. Tokki Corporation is a Japanese manufacturer known for precision optical fiber processing equipment.
