Chemtronics 25123X Fiber Optic Swabs

The Chemtronics 25123X is a 100 pack of 6 inch foam swabs with 1.25mm pointed polyester tips. They are designed for technicians cleaning fiber optic end faces and alignment sleeves. Each swab features a white polyester handle and a single non-sterile tip free of fibers, seams, hard surfaces, binders and adhesives.

Sustained cleaning performance

The foam tips may be used wet or dry to remove dirt, oil contamination and slurry from ferrule polishing fixtures. Because the tips contain no binders or adhesives, they do not leave residue during extended cleaning sessions. The pointed shape reaches into tight sleeves and test ports without shedding particles onto critical surfaces.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that 1.25mm tips match the ferrule and sleeve sizes in your workflow. Confirm the 5 3/8 inch handle length provides adequate reach for your specific equipment. Ensure non-sterile swabs meet your facility's contamination control requirements for the intended application.

Questions about this item

Do the 1.25 mm foam tips generate lint or heat during long cleaning sessions?

The polyester foam tips are free of fibers, seams, hard surfaces, binders and adhesives, so they leave no lint and produce no heat during extended use.

What connector size must my patch cords or test ports have for these swabs to fit?

The 1.25 mm tip diameter is made for 1.25 mm alignment sleeves and ferrule end faces commonly found on LC and MU connectors.

Will the 6 inch handle reach inside older high-density patch panels without hitting adjacent cables?

The 5 3/8 inch polyester handle and pointed 21/32 inch tip provide the reach needed for deep, crowded panels while staying rigid enough for precise cleaning.
