Telecommunications and Connectivity Solutions

The right cleaner is necessary to save time and prolong the life of your equipment. At H.B. Fuller, we offer different types of cleaners to handle cables. You can use fiber cleaning fluid to prepare individual strands prior to splicing, or you can use cable gel remover to handle sticky situations for cable installation and maintenance. 

Fiber Cleaning Fluid

Cleaning fiber prior to splicing is critical as it removes debris and contaminants that can reduce the long-term performance of equipment. Our ethanol-based fluid can easily be used for this initial process. Regardless of whether you use a mechanical connector or fusion method, our fiber cleaning fluid is made to improve performance by cleaning without causing damage. The fluid is easy to use — you can apply it to a clean, lint-free tissue and gently wipe the fiber down one or two times before using another tissue to clean the next fiber.

Cable Gel Remover 

Make cleaning quick and effective with cable gel remover specially formulated for the job. Using our safe formulations, you can clean cables without damaging conductor insulation or cable sheaths. 

Beyond removing all types of cable gel and filling compounds, our gel remover products help get rid of c-cement, grease, tar, and other undesirable forms of residue from equipment. With reliably efficient formulations, you can confidently use our cable gel remover on cable conductors, cable sheaths, tools, and hands.

H.B. Fuller offers efficient and quality solutions for cable plugging, including compounds that can be used with all types of cable sheaths, closure materials, and associated hardware. Whether you need to locate and fix air leaks in pressurized cable systems, handle cable plugging in difficult environments, or meet construction needs with quick and reliable cable adhesives, our line of cable plugging and pressurization products can help. 

Plugging Compounds 

We have a variety of plugging solutions designed to meet your specific needs, including universal compounds for PIC and pulp/paper cables. Whether you need resistant adhesives for warmer climates or fast-setting plugging for cables in cold temperatures, H.B. Fuller has a solution for your project. 

Through our offerings, you can find plugging compounds with specific cure and gel times as well as barrier kit mixing instructions for optimal application and performance. 

Telecom pedestal bases are located outside — this makes them vulnerable to the unwelcome invasion of pests and the elements. At H.B. Fuller, our pedestal sealing products are designed to protect your cables as you lay them and keep them safe from intrusion and the environment. 

We have expanding rigid foams and expanding flexible foams.

At H.B. Fuller, our post and pole installation products and applications for the telecommunications industry are designed to quickly and effectively help contractors and technicians and better set poles and posts.

• Utility Pole Setting 
• Satellite Dish Pole Setting

When choosing a re-enterable encapsulant, ease of re-entry, degree of protection, tensile strength, and resistance to stress cracking are critical considerations. At H.B. Fuller, our Q-Tel™ line of encapsulants are rigorously tested to ensure they meet the needs of our customers, as well as the development standards of the global marketplace.  

Cable and Service Wires 

Protect your connections both above and below the ground. Our moisture-proof re-enterable encapsulants are designed for aerial and buried cable and service connections and splices, clearing cable conductor ends, load coil cases, electrical enclosures, and more.   

Power Distribution Systems

Trade pitches, petrolatums, and mineral and silicone oils for our high dielectric, non-urethane, moisture-proof re-enterable encapsulant gel are developed for use in medium voltage power distribution applications with either insulated or bare conductors.  

Ducts, Joints, and More 

Our silicone adhesive and sealant requires no mixing, cures when exposed to air, and provides a flexible seal, making it the perfect solution for ducts, electrical wires, connectors, joints, and enclosures. And, our silicone-based sticky gel and gel wrap kit protect parts from corrosion, rust, and moisture.
