Fiber Connector Cleaner
Item# MCC-FCC
MicroCare's Fiber Connector Cleaner is a nonflammable, plastic-safe, optical-grade cleaning fluid formulated for cleaning fiber optic connectors. Because it dries almost instantly, it is perfect for cleaning ferrules installed in connector bulkheads and other hard-to-reach configurations. Nonflammable and ozone-safe, this nonhazardous cleaner is ideal for cleaning dust, oil, grime, and moisture from fiber optic ferrule ends and connector bulkheads. It is safe to use on most materials, including glass, ceramic, metal, plastic and cured epoxy surfaces. Ultra-pure, this cleaner dries quickly without leaving a residue.   

The hermetically-sealed mini-pump spray dispenser contains 400 squirts of solvent. The mini-pump uses the unique and patented Triton™ 3-way dispensing system, the most versatile packaging system in the industry. The sealed canister also prevents refilling and cross-contamination, ensuring clean solvent every time. The canister also is “TravelSAFE™” — that is, the pump spray is “nonhazardous, nonregulated” so it can be shipped, even by plane, without extra paperwork or Hazmat fees*.

*Regarding paperwork and Hazmat fees, avoidance of these two items saves the enduser a considerable amount of cost. For a vendor to ship a small container of isopropyl alcohol, the vendor first must have its personnel specially trained in the handling and packaging of hazardous materials. Only trained people are allowed to place the item in a specially-designed shipping container. Paperwork must be filed in order to ship the produuct. As an example of shipping costs, a 16-ounce bottle of 99% Isopropyl Alcohol and a pump dispenser with a retail value of $12.00 would incur approximately $32.00 shipping cost.  That alone should discourage anyone from using alcohol to clean fiber optic connectors. A further incentive is the fact that alcohol can leave residue and can also re-deposit itself on a recently treated surface. Conclusion: if you must use a liquid clean, use only non-alcohol liquids.
