DIGITUS Fiber Optic Connector Cleaner · approx. 400 Cleanings · for LC, SC, FC, ST, MU, MT, D4 and DIN Connector End Faces
DIGITUS DN-FO-CC-1 — Fiber Optic Connector Cleaner
The DIGITUS DN-FO-CC-1 is a hand-held cleaner for the end faces of fiber optic connectors, rated for about 400 cleanings. It handles LC, SC, FC, ST, D4, MU, MT and DIN connectors and is meant for technicians and network administrators who patch, test or troubleshoot fiber links.
Dirt on a connector end face is the most common cause of high attenuation and link errors on fiber. Cleaning every connector before it is mated — including brand-new patch cords — is standard practice, and a dedicated cleaner does it quickly without solvents or lint-producing wipes.

What It Means in Practice
- Clean both connectors of every mated pair, every time you re-patch — one dirty end contaminates the other.
- About 400 cleanings covers a typical rack re-patching project or several months of service work.
- Always inspect after cleaning if you have a fiber scope; repeat if the end face is still dirty.
- Never look into an active fiber — DIGITUS explicitly warns to wear protective goggles.
What Will Not Work
- It does not clean connectors that are inside an adapter or transceiver port (bulkhead side) unless they can be accessed directly — that needs a pen-type port cleaner.
- It does not repair scratched or damaged end faces.
- It is not a fiber inspection tool; it cannot show you whether the connector is clean.
- No refill is published, so it is a consumable.
