Cleaning Sticks 1.25 mm for LC/MU Connectors Lightwin — 100 pcs

Lightwin Cleaning Sticks 1.25 mm for LC/MU Connectors are single-use precision swabs intended to clean ferrules and adapters of LC and MU fiber optic connectors. Supplied as a pack of 100 sticks, each cleaning stick is sized for 1.25 mm ferrules and designed to remove dust, oil and light contamination from connector endfaces to help maintain signal integrity and reduce return loss during installations and maintenance.

Advantages

The cleaning sticks are disposable, providing a hygienic method to clean connectors without cross-contamination between ports. Their 1.25 mm tip geometry matches LC and MU ferrule dimensions for targeted cleaning of endfaces and adapter interiors. Packaged in a set of 100, they are convenient for field technicians and rack-side maintenance, minimizing the need to carry multiple tools.

Suitable for

• Cleaning LC and MU connector endfaces in patch panels and fiber enclosures
• Field installation and on-site maintenance of fiber optic links
• Cleaning transceiver ports and adapter interiors prior to mating connectors
• Routine site checks to reduce insertion loss and return loss caused by contamination

When it may not be suitable

These cleaning sticks are intended for 1.25 mm ferrules (LC and MU). They are not suitable for larger ferrule types such as SC or ST, nor for bulk cleaning of flat surfaces where other cleaning tools may be more efficient. They are single-use items and may not be appropriate where a reusable cleaning solution is preferred for environmental or cost reasons.

Key specifications

• Tip diameter: 1.25 mm, compatible with LC and MU ferrules
• Quantity: 100 disposable sticks per pack
• Material: lint-free cleaning tip on a rigid shaft for controlled use
• Intended use: dry cleaning to remove dust, oils and light contaminants from connector endfaces

How to use

Remove a single cleaning stick from the pack and align the 1.25 mm tip with the connector ferrule or adapter bore. Gently insert and rotate or swipe the tip across the endface to lift dust and oils. For adapter interiors, insert and move the stick along the bore to contact internal surfaces. Dispose of the stick after one use to avoid transferring contaminants between connectors.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm connector type: designed for LC and MU (1.25 mm ferrules)
• Quantity needs: 100 sticks per pack; determine consumption rate for site maintenance
• Cleaning method: intended primarily for dry cleaning; for stubborn residues use approved solvent-based cleaning products first

Usage recommendations

Use a new stick for each connector or adapter to prevent cross-contamination. Inspect connector endfaces with a fiber microscope after cleaning to ensure no residue remains before mating connectors. Store the pack in a clean, dry environment to preserve the lint-free tips.
