Fiber optic cartridge cleaners are available from many vendors and are
typically called "cartridge cleaners," as shown in Figure 34.

cleaning cartridge in the direction of the arrow to expose the cleaning
surface, as shown in Figure 35.
2. Place the ferrule tip on the exposed cleaning surface and rub the
ferrule in a downward direction, as shown in Figure 35.
