Cletop Optical Fiber Connector Cleaner
The Cletop Optical Fiber Connector Cleaner is a rugged, palm-sized fiber optic connector cleaning tool designed for reliable end-face cleaning in field, laboratory, assembly line, and production environments. Cletop cleaners are used to remove contamination from optical connector ferrules, helping technicians maintain clean fiber connections and reduce the risk of insertion loss, reflectance issues, and network performance problems.
Fiber optic connector cleanliness is critical in telecom, data center, broadband, manufacturing, and test environments. Dust, oil, and microscopic debris on connector end-faces can interfere with optical transmission and may cause troubleshooting delays. The Cletop Optical Fiber Connector Cleaner provides a practical dry-cleaning solution using a push-button shutter mechanism and replaceable tape cartridges.
Cletop is available in multiple configurations, including the original Cletop series and the newer Cletop S Series. The Cletop S Series offers a second-generation ergonomic design with a drop-in replacement tape cartridge, making cartridge replacement fast and convenient.

Advanced Features and Benefits of the Cletop Optical Fiber Connector Cleaner
The Cletop Optical Fiber Connector Cleaner is well suited for environments where connector cleaning must be fast, consistent, and dependable. Its tape-based cleaning method allows users to clean connector end-faces without requiring liquid cleaning for many routine applications.
The Cletop Type A and Cletop-SA models are designed for single 2.5 mm ferrules, including connector types such as SC, FC, ST, and D4. These models are useful for common fiber optic connector cleaning tasks where a single ferrule must be cleaned before inspection, testing, or mating.
The Cletop Type B and Cletop-SB models support a broader range of connector types, including SC, SC2, FC, ST, DIN, D4, MU, LC, MT, and MPO/MTP connectors without pins. Specialized Cletop models are also available for MT-RJ and MPO/MTP connectors with pins.
The Cletop S Series adds an ergonomic second-generation cleaner body with a drop-in replacement tape cartridge. This design helps reduce service time when replacing cartridges and supports efficient cleaning in high-use environments such as assembly lines, test labs, and network equipment staging areas.
