Appendix B: Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors

112

Using a Swab

Specially treated swabs (stick cleaners) are available for cleaning inside

connector adapters or hard-to-reach ferrule tips. These swabs, often

referred to as “lint free” or “alcohol free” swabs, are available from many

vendors, as shown in Figure 84. Stick cleaners are available in both

2.5 mm and 1.25 mm sizes for use on SC and MU connectors

respectively.

Note

NEVER use a household cotton swab and/or alcohol to clean a fiber

optic connector. This may leave a residue on the ferrule tip.

connector.

To clean a recessed ferrule using a swab, perform the following

procedure.

ferrule tip with the swab.
