Cleaners for Fiber-Optic Connectors

Clean plugs or adapters on fiber-optic cords. These handheld cleaners remove dust, dirt, and grime with a lint-free fabric so cords can send data without disruptions caused by debris.

Cleaners with a plastic case have a cleaning window for wiping debris off of plugs. Slide the cleaner to feed a fresh piece of cleaning fabric across the window.

Cleaners with a plastic handle have a cleaning tip for plugs and adapters. Flip open the cap to clean a plug, or remove the cap to clean a recessed adapter. Click the tool to push the cleaning fabric through the tip—each click pushes through a fresh cleaning surface. They also have an extendable nozzle, which lengthens them by an extra 1.5 in. to clean deep ports or crowded panels.

Fiber-Optic Cable Cleaner/Gel Removers

Clean dirt, grease, oil, tar, and wax from fiber-optic cables before splicing them together. After wiping them on, these removers evaporate quickly and don’t leave residue, so there’s no need to rinse the cables off and their optical clarity won’t change. If you’re in a rush, wipe them dry with a lint-free cloth.
