Cable Gel Removers for Fiber-Optic Cable

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.
