Sticklers Benchtop CleanWipes are high-quality, lint-free wipes engineered for cleaning bare fiber before splicing and for cleaning jumpers and other male connectors used in fiber optic networks. These wipes have exactly the right absorbency, quality, and packaging to make cleaning fast, reliable, and affordable.The wipes are made from soft, hydroentangled polyester fabric, made without troublesome glues or cellulose, which can leave residues on end faces. The strong fabric resists shredding even when cleaning LC connectors. These wipes lift away fingerprint oils, grime, dust, and lint. This makes them ideal for cleaning bare fiber or fiber optic connector end-faces, plus lenses, mirrors, diffraction gratings, prisms, and test equipment.The packaging has been designed to make cleaning easier for technicians. The handy mini-tub is rugged and spill-proof. Each wipe is protected with a plastic overwrap, which keeps fingerprints and moisture off the wipes. The unique “Drop-n-Stop(c)” packaging keeps the tub from rolling when dropped.Experts recommend that each connector and every splice be cleaned during installation, maintenance, and reconfiguration—even if a jumper is new, right out of the bag.
