Are these swabs lint-free?
Yes, the material is lint-free to ensure that no particles are left behind during the cleaning process.
Which fiber connector types are these compatible with?
These are designed for 2.5mm ferrule connectors, specifically SC and ST types.
Should I use solvent with these?
Yes, these are designed for use with an approved fiber optic solvent to perform a wet/dry cleaning sequence for the best results.
Can these be used to clean fiber end-faces?
Yes, they are suitable for cleaning fiber end-faces inside bulkheads and ports to ensure clean connections.
