Fiber Optic Wiping Clip C101 – Fiber End Face Cleaner Tool

The Fiber Optic Wiping Clip C101 is a precision cleaning tool engineered for technicians to safely clean fiber end faces before splicing or connectorization. Designed for single fiber, ribbon fiber, pigtails, and drop cables, this wipe clip ensures dust, oil, and microscopic contaminants are removed without scratching or breaking the fiber.

This tool features a built-in alcohol dispensing system with a 50 mL bottle, allowing users to apply isopropyl cleaning liquid directly onto the fiber with one hand. Its spring-loaded clip mechanism holds the fiber securely in place, enabling accurate wiping and reducing the risk of fiber damage during cleaning.

The C101 wipe clip is widely used in FTTx installations, telecom maintenance, fiber splicing labs, data centers, and optical network deployments, making it an essential tool for improving splice quality and reducing insertion loss.

✅ FAQ – Fiber Optic Wiping Clip C101

1. What is the Fiber Optic Wiping Clip C101 used for?
The Fiber Optic Wiping Clip C101 is used to clean the fiber end face before fusion splicing or connector installation. It removes dust, oil, and contaminants to ensure better splice quality and low signal loss.

2. Can it clean all types of fiber optic cables?
Yes. This tool is compatible with bare fiber, ribbon fiber, pigtails, and drop cables, making it suitable for FTTx, telecom, and fiber maintenance work.

3. Does it require alcohol or cleaning solution?
Yes. It features a built-in 50 mL alcohol bottle where you can fill isopropyl alcohol or fiber cleaning solution, allowing liquid to be applied directly during the wiping process.

4. Is the C101 wiping clip safe for delicate fiber cores?
Yes. It uses a controlled spring clip mechanism that holds the fiber gently without bending or breaking, ensuring safe cleaning of SM and MM fibers.

5. Where is this tool commonly used?
The C101 is widely used in fiber fusion splicing, FTTH/FTTx installations, telecom maintenance, data centers, and optical network deployment.

6. Does it help reduce splice loss?
Yes. By properly cleaning the fiber core before splicing, it helps remove microscopic particles and ensures better splice alignment and minimal insertion loss.

7. Is it reusable?
Yes. The clip is reusable, but the cleaning wipes and alcohol may need replacement after continuous use depending on field conditions.

8. What makes it better than traditional manual wiping?

• No direct hand contact with fiber

• Even alcohol distribution

• Faster and more accurate cleaning

• Lower risk of fiber breakage or contamination
