ABSTRACT:
A cleaning device is configured for cleaning a male portion of an aligning-type fiber optic connector. The device includes a container having an opening in a face formed in a side of the container. A plurality of discrete soft, large work surfaces are disposed on a face formed in a side of the container. The surfaces are disposed in side-by-side relation to one another having open regions between the surfaces. The open regions are at an elevation lower than an elevation of the plurality of work surfaces. A plurality of cleaning wipes are located inside the container. The wipes are fed from the inside of the container through the opening and placed on the work surface for cleaning the connector.
