Cleaning MPO Connectors – Wet MPO Fiber Cleaner

MPO connectors, commonly used in high-density data centers and telecommunications networks, play a crucial role in transmitting vast amounts of data. However, dirt, dust, and contaminants on MPO connectors can significantly impact signal quality and overall network performance. That’s where MPO fiber cleaner comes to the rescue.

Wet MPO Fiber Cleaner

Traditional wet cleaning tools are used to clean exposed single-fiber and multi-fiber connectors, such as LC / SC / FC / ST / MTP / MPO connectors. Common cleaning tools are cleaning wipes and cotton swabs.

Fiber Optic Foam Swabs

These lint-free foam swabs are ideally suitable for cleaning contaminants from almost all fiber connectors due to their low price, easy operation, and excellent fiber cleaning performance.

The basic cleaning procedures are as follows: dip a cleaning swab in isopropyl alcohol; insert the swab into the MPO connector; lightly press and turn the swab to clean the ferrule end face; follow up with a dry swab to ensure a thorough cleaning.

Fiber Cleaning Wipes

The cleaning wipes are made of pure raw wood fiber and have a distributor box, which can draw out the cleaning wipes at one time and prevent the generation of static electricity. The cleaning wipes can be used with isopropanol, and the lint-free and friction-free cleaning wipes are very suitable for cleaning the end faces of MPO connectors without scratching or residual lint.

Conclusion

Keeping your connectors clean is crucial for good data flow and a stable network. For MPO connectors, you can use easy-to-use tools like the fiber cleaning cassette cleaner or the one-push fiber pen cleaner. These are both great for dry cleaning. You can also use cleaning wipes or foam swabs soaked in isopropyl alcohol for a deeper, more intense clean. Whether you choose to clean them dry or wet, pick the method that works best for you to ensure your connections are as clear as possible!
