Clean Connectors, Reliable Networks.

CLETOP (ACT) adapter cleaning sticks offered by AFL are an easy and efficient means of cleaning fiber optic connectors in adapters and cleaning alignment sleeves. CLETOP sticks are available in sizes for most common commercial connectors (ST, SC, FC, LC, MU), military connectors, and LEMO connectors for video applications. When connectors need to be cleaned inside adapters, you can rely on the CLETOP stick.

Why Proper Cleaning Matters

• Cleaning Saves Time and Money: Regular maintenance with CLETOP cleaning sticks reduces unexpected downtime and eliminates costly troubleshooting and emergency repairs.
•  

• Dirty connectors cause a major percentage of fiber optic network failures: Even microscopic particles of dust, oil, or debris can cause signal loss, increased error rates, and complete connection failures in your fiber optic network.
•  
• Prevention is simple – clean connectors! Make connector cleaning a standard part of your installation and maintenance procedures to ensure optimal performance from the start.
•  
• Eliminate Unnecessary Service Calls: Many expensive technician visits are caused by nothing more than dirty connectors that could have been cleaned in seconds.
•  
• Extend Connector Life and Reduce Replacement Costs: Proper cleaning protects your investment by preventing scratches, wear, and contamination damage that lead to premature connector replacement.
•  
• Maximize Network Performance and Minimize Repair Costs: Clean connectors ensure optimal signal transmission, reducing bit error rates and lowering overall network maintenance costs.
