MTP®, LC AND SC CLEANING TOOLS
For single fibre and multi-fibre connectors
What exactly is a fibre optic Click Cleaner?
A click cleaner is a quick and effective tool for cleaning optical connectors and adapters in any environment. Click cleaners work by delicately pushing an optical grade cleaning tape onto the optical end-face and through a mechanical action where the cleaner rotates the tape around removing contaminants as it revolves.
There are various click cleaners available for the variety of different fibre connector types.
These include common single ferrule connector types such as LC, SC, ST and FC (1.25mm and 2.5mm ferrules), as well as multi-fibre ferrules such as MTP/MPO connectors.
Click cleaning tools can clean both cable connectors and ports within panels, cassettes or optical transceiver by simply inserting Click Cleaner into an adapter, bulkhead or onto a ferrule and push until you hear and audible “click”.
Why click clean?
Cleaning your optical end faces will prevent costly network downtime and fault finding. Up to 90% of network failures can be attributed back to poor optical cleaning.
We all know the golden rule of maintaining a high-performing fibre network is to always inspect before you connect. Whether newly supplied or an existing fibre product that has been in inventory for some time your connector should always be examined, cleaned and examined again prior to connection.
One-Click Cleaners are an essential part of any field technician or data centre managers toolkit.

CLEANING MTP (MPO) TO LC CASSETTE MODULES
Cassette and transceiver ports
The MTP ferrule is flat across its entire surface as opposed to a standard connector which is conical. This means that any contaminants anywhere on the ferrule end-face (and not just close to the fibres as in standard connectors) will affect the quality of the connection.
The male MTP connector has guide pins close to the fibres (fibre no. 1 and fibre no. 12) which make cleaning more difficult.
The MTP connector can be housed inside a bulkhead/adaptor which means accessing the ferrule can be difficult.
By far the biggest issue with installing pre-terminated fibre networking surrounds the ability to clean the connectors adequately to ensure desired performance levels are achieved.
