Iso Propyl Alcohol, supplied in a 1 litre tin, is the preferred method of cleaning optical fibres and all other associated fibre optic components. Iso Propyl Alcohol (IPA) should be used with a lint free wipe for cleaning optical fibres before fitting into connectors and before splicing. When cleaning fibres they should be "squeaky" clean. Use also for cleaning connector end faces.

A Solvent Dispenser is a useful compliment for the IPA and is a pump action dispenser that avoids spillage and prevents solvent evaporation
