Connector Cleaners

This unique handheld connector ferrule end face cleaner removes dust, dirt and contaminates prior to mating a fiber optic connection. The fiber optic cleaner fits well in the technician’s hand with a convenient trigger that automatically opens the top cleaning window to expose a single microfiber cleaning slot. Simply swipe the ferrule end-face with light pressure against the microfiber with the directional arrow and then release the trigger.

Choose the FIS Hand Held Connector Cleaner as an alternative to alcohol or solvent and wipes.

Note:
The Blue Tape is the original color tape. It was used on connectors with 2.5mm diameter ferrules such as the FC, ST, and SC. With the introduction of the smaller 1.25mm diameter ferrules such as used in the LC connector and multifiber connectors such as the MPX, there was some concern the smaller geometry connectors might “snag” on the somewhat looser weave of the Blue Tape. Therefore, a smoother White Tape was developed. Over time, with very few exceptions, the looser weave of the Blue Tape turned out to not be a problem for the smaller geometry ferrules. Currently, the selection of Blue or White Tape is primarily user preference.
