Appendix B: Cleaning Fiber Optic Connectors

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 37. 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.

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 36 and rub the ferrule tip
with the swab.
