Overview
The Jonard Tools FCCS-160 is an ultra-slim one-push fiber connector cleaner engineered for high-density network environments. Its primary purpose is to maintain signal integrity by removing oil, dust, and microscopic debris from MPO-16 and 32-core (16x2) connectors. Its slim form factor allows for efficient operation in recessed adapters, cassette modules, and high-density patch panels where standard-sized cleaners may not fit.
Designed for professional use in hyperscale data centers, enterprise networks, and high-speed backbone infrastructure, the FCCS-160 features a static-dissipative housing and uses a dry, ultra-fine microfiber cleaning tape. The tool is compatible with both UPC and APC polish types, as well as male (pinned) and female (unpinned) connector configurations, ensuring broad versatility in high-density installations.
