Production and Field Bulkhead and Connector Cleaner Matrix

Dirty connectors not only contribute to poor IL and RL, but are also a leading cause of fiber optic network failures. With the right fiber optic connector cleaner, contamination can be effectively removed to help maintain signal integrity.

Fiber Optic Center offers a wide range of fiber optic cleaning solutions for bulkhead adapter and end face cleaning in production and field environments. These solutions support LC, SC, FC, ST, MPO/MTP® connector types, as well as high density connectors such as MDC, SN, and MMC with TMT ferrules. These industry leading push type and one click cleaner tools are designed to access hard-to-reach areas and effectively remove dust, oils, and debris.

Use the matrix below to compare fiber cleaner types and identify the right product for your application. If you have any questions, please contact our technical team.
