1.25mm Wrapped Cleaning Swabs (5 Pack)

Overview

The 1.25mm Fiber Optic Sleeve Cleaning Swabs are precision-engineered tools designed for the removal of contamination from delicate fiber optic components. Featuring a 1.25mm diameter polyester tip, these swabs provide a secure, tight fit for thorough cleaning of internal alignment sleeves, fiber optic adapters, and polishing fixtures.

These swabs are constructed to be free of seams, hard surfaces, binders, and adhesives, ensuring no residues are introduced to sensitive optical interfaces. They can be utilized for both wet and dry cleaning applications, effectively removing dirt and oil contaminants. Their wicking action is specifically engineered to pull solvents away from surfaces, making them highly efficient for maintenance tasks in environments where tight-tolerance cleaning is required.
