Electrical Parts 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.

For Plugs—Plastic Case

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.

For Plugs and Bulkhead Adapters—Plastic Handle

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.
