Overview
The Sticklers™ MCC-S25 CleanStixx are precision-molded 2.5 mm fiber optic cleaning swabs designed for consistent performance in high-density network environments. These swabs are specifically sized for cleaning SC, ST, FC, E2000, and OptiTap-style ports, as well as MIL DTL 83526 TFOCA-style socket termini.
Constructed using advanced sintered polymer technology, these high-purity tips are engineered to flex and conform to fiber end-faces. This allows for the effective removal of particulates and absorption of fluids across the entire surface. They are an essential tool for technicians requiring reliable maintenance for critical fiber interconnects in data centers, telecommunications, and industrial settings.
