Each CleanStixx™ swab uses a unique, patented, high-purity fibrous tip to clean fiber optic end-faces. The tip is precision molded to be slightly narrower than the alignment sleeve. This enables the tip to spin off-center and greatly improves cleaning results — even on small form factor connectors.
Designed to be used with the Sticklers® Fiber Optic Splice and Connector Cleaner, CleanStixx™ swabs out-perform foam or cloth swabs. Plus, the fast-drying Connector Cleaner makes "wet-dry" cleaning a snap.
Here's a fun, one-minute video about the Sticklers® CleanStixx™ and how they can help you clean inside alignment sleeves.
Each CleanStixx™ swab is color-coded for the type of connector it is designed to clean (see photos, right). For example, the popular SC connectors are cleaned with the blue CleanStixx™ swab; LC connectors are cleaned with the green CleanStixx™ swab and so on. This makes training easy, and with a quick glance you can confirm you have the right CleanStixx™ swab for the job at hand.
The fibers at the tip of each CleanStixx™ swab spread during cleaning. The fibers grab particulate other cleaning swabs can't lift or dislodge. Capillary action wicks liquid contamination off the end-face and up into the fibers, while the tip flexes to conform to connector end-faces, including APC styles, so no extra tools are required.
In short, CleanStixx™ swabs will leave end-faces clean and residue-free. Available in five sizes, there is a stick for every style of fiber optic connector. Only Sticklers® CleanStixx™ fiber optic swabs can clean any connector, any size, any configuration, just about every time.
