AFC-3000 Connector Cleaning Gun
Use of AFC-3000 with extension
Item# AFC-3000
The quickest and most reliable ferrule cleaning device available!

The AFC-3000 Cleaning Gun uses a cleaning filament which is mechanically pulled and rotated across the surface of the connector ferrule, providing an immaculately clean surface in just 3 seconds of operation. The internal electric motor (powered by two AA batteries) is actuated by insertion of the gun tip into a bulkhead adapter (for through-the-adapter cleaning), or by inserting the connector ferrule directly into the gun tip. The motor automatically stops operating after 3 seconds of cleaning. Unless the contamination is baked on the ferrule, or the ferrule itself is damaged, the cleaning process should require no more than a single cleaning cycle.

Tips, both male (for direct cleaning) and female (for through-the-bulkhead cleaning) are available for most commonly-used types of connectors (circular ferrules only!).

Cleaning cartridges are available for 2.5 mm and 1.25 mm ferrules. The 2.5 mm cartridges are available in short and extended-length (4-inch) versions. The extended-length cartridge requires a 4-inch extension to be used between the gun and the tips. All cartridges provide 600 cleaning cycles.

Of special interest to television broadcasters: The AFC-3000 has a tip specifically designed for use with SMPTE 304M connectors (commonly called "Lemo" connectors).
