Fiber optic cleaning pen which cleans the male or female side of a connector, for +800 cleanings. It removes contaminants by an easy push operation without damaging the delicate optical fiber core.

It has an automatic advance feature which ensures each clean is performed with fresh cleaning tape.
Suitable to clean the ferrule inside an SC, FC and ST adapter (female/receptacle), with the option to extend the nozzle to have an extra long reach. Secondly it can also be used for cleaning 2,5mm ferrule end face of a fiber optic patch cable, suitable for SC, FC and ST… connectors (male). Includes an instruction manual.

Many issues in optical communications equipment are caused by contamination of the optical connector end face. A clean connector is critical to the reliability of any optical network architecture. The result of unclean connectors when mating is cross contamination of both connectors and potential damage like scratches to the ferrule end face. Good cleaning techniques, proper training and the use of cleaning tools will help prevent signal degradation, residue cross contamination, and will reduce lasting effects of contamination. Prevention first, but still, the best practice is to always inspect both connectors, before mating.
