Appendix B: Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors

128

Using a Swab

Specially treated swabs, known as 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. Examples are shown in Figure 27. 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.

Note

Do not use compressed air or aerosol air to clean a fiber optic

connector.

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

procedure.

1. Insert the swab into the adapter as shown in Figure 26 and rub the

ferrule tip with the swab.
