Overview

The AFL 8500-05-0002MZ One-Click® Cleaner is a specialized cleaning tool designed for fiber optic connectors with a 1.25 mm ferrule, specifically LC and MU connectors. It features a patented, push-to-clean design that rotates optical grade tape across the connector end-face, effectively removing dust, oil, and various contaminants in a single, consistent stroke.

Designed for both field and laboratory environments, this cleaner is built to perform effectively in high-density panels. It is capable of cleaning connectors on exposed patch cables as well as those seated deep within bulkhead adapters, supporting both dry and wet cleaning applications. The tool provides over 500 cleanings, offering a cost-effective and repeatable solution for maintaining signal integrity.
