Platinum Tools last month announced the launch of its new Fiber Optic Cleaner product line. The line's two new color-coded fiber-optic cleaners are available in 1.25mm (p/n FC125) and 2.50mm (p/n FC250) sizes.

Key features and specifications of the new product line include the following: 

• Silk thread provides more than 900 cleanings and advances automatically after each use for particle-free connections.
• Single push cleans with ease.
• Unique two-position cap cleans ports and connectors with the same device.
• Weight: 2 oz.
• Length: Under 9 inches (225 mm).
• Blue tip = 1.25 mm size for LC and MU connectors.
• White tip = 2.50 mm size for SC, FC and ST connectors.
• MSRP for both sizes: $87.50

“These new, easy-to-use, pen-style cleaners have been designed to work with virtually all common fiber-optic sizes and connector types, allowing you to clean connectors and ports for the best possible optical performance,” commented Sean Rothermel, Platinum Tools product manager. “With two sizes with color-coded tips for easy identification, all you need to do is push to effortlessly clean fiber ports or connectors. It really is that simple.”
