Overview
The AFL CLETOP 8500-10-0011MZ is a classic Type A fiber connector cleaning cassette designed for efficient, solvent-free maintenance of fiber optic ferrules. By utilizing a high-density woven cleaning tape, it effectively lifts dirt, dust, and other contaminants from connector end-faces through capillary action, trapping them in micro-pockets to prevent re-contamination.
This cleaning tool is engineered for 2.5-mm ferrules, making it compatible with a wide array of common connector interfaces. Its compact and portable design makes it suitable for use in both field environments and controlled manufacturing facilities. The device is anti-static, minimizing the risk of electrostatic discharge during the cleaning process.
