Using a Cartridge-Type Cleaner

Fiber optic cartridge cleaners, shown in Figure 53, are available from
many vendors and are typically called "cartridge cleaners".
Note
Do not use compressed air or aerosol air to clean a fiber optic
connector.
To clean a fiber optic connector using a cartridge cleaner, perform the
following procedure.
1. With one hand, hold the cartridge cleaner and push the lever on the
cleaning cartridge in the direction of the arrow to expose the cleaning
surface, as shown in Figure 54.
2. Place the ferrule tip on the exposed cleaning surface and rub the
ferrule in a downward direction, as shown in Figure 54.
