Product Details

Cleaning swabs for fiber optic connectors are the lint-free tipped tools that reach the recessed end-face inside a bulkhead adapter or transceiver port. The swab enters the alignment sleeve and wipes the ferrule directly, removing dust and oil from a mated connection that a cassette cannot touch. For recessed ports and adapter interiors, the swab is often the only tool that physically reaches the contamination.

Aevumix supplies cleaning swabs sized to 2.5mm and 1.25mm alignment sleeves, in dry form and for use with optical solvent for wet-then-dry cleaning. Made from lint-free, static-dissipative material, they lift particulate without shedding fibers or scratching the ceramic end-face. Used within inspect-clean-inspect, the correct swab converts a failed end-face inspection into a pass without disturbing neighbouring connections.

Whether for a technician’s pouch or bulk supply, we provide consistent, documented swabs with fast quotes. Tell us your connector and adapter types and we will recommend the correct swab sizes and quantities.
