US Conec 12926 IBC Cleaner M20 with SMPTE Adapter, 2.0mm 304M/358M

Overview

The US Conec 12926 IBC™ Brand Cleaner M20 with SMPTE Adapter is a specialized push-style, disposable cleaning tool designed for harsh-environment 2.0mm fiber optic connector systems. It is engineered to reach recessed ferrules in SMPTE 304M and SMPTE 358M broadcast camera connectors, as well as MIL-PRF-28876 connectors, without requiring the removal of the connector sleeve.

This cleaner utilizes a non-fraying dry cleaning strand to effectively remove contaminants including dust, skin oils, salt water, and other residues. An integrated anti-static system helps minimize the re-attraction of contaminants to the connector endface, ensuring reliable performance in both factory cable assembly environments and field installations.
