Waste Container for Optical Fiber Waste Staples FS-200S by Staples

The Staples FS-200S waste container for optical fiber waste is designed to collect and contain small fiber scraps and cuttings produced during splicing, termination and cable preparation. The container provides a dedicated receptacle that reduces the risk of loose fibers escaping into the workspace, helping to maintain a cleaner and safer environment for technicians working in telecom, installation and laboratory settings.

Advantages

The waste container offers a compact footprint and a secure closure that limits fiber release and contamination. Its construction is tailored to handle tiny, sharp fiber fragments while allowing easy placement near fusion splicers, workbenches and field kits. The product supports organised disposal procedures and reduces the potential for accidental contact with stray fibers.

Suitable for

• Fusion splicing and termination workstations
• Field fiber optic installation and maintenance
• Laboratory and test environments handling optical fibers
• Telecommunications and data centre cabling tasks

Key specifications

• Purpose: collection of optical fiber scraps and cuttings
• Compatibility: suitable for single fibers and small fiber fragments from splicing and stripping
• Form factor: compact tabletop or benchtop receptacle for local placement
• Closure: secure lid or sealing mechanism to limit fiber escape
• Material: durable housing designed for safe containment of sharp microfragments

How to use

Place the Staples FS-200S near the work area where fiber cutting or stripping is performed. After cutting or cleaving fibers, deposit the small scraps directly into the container. Close the lid or sealing mechanism as specified to ensure fragments remain contained. Replace or empty the internal disposable lining or cartridge according to visible fill level or the manufacturer's maintenance guidance to maintain effective containment.

Usage recommendations

Position the container within arm's reach of the splicing station to encourage immediate disposal of fiber offcuts, and monitor fill level regularly. Use in combination with appropriate personal protective equipment and follow local regulations for disposal of fiber waste and contaminated materials.
