When it comes to optical performance, cleanliness isn't optional—it's essential. Whether you're preparing a bare fiber for inspection or finalizing a polished connector, contamination on the endface can compromise performance, introduce signal loss, or even damage sensitive equipment.
That’s why Krell Technologies developed CleanTouch™, an economical and ergonomic solution designed for quick and effective cleaning of both optical connectors and bare fibers. With just a gentle touch to the CleanTouch substrate, contaminants are removed instantly—no tools, solvents, or complex handling required.
✔️ Built for Efficiency and Protection
CleanTouch™ offers a safer alternative to traditional wipes and cleaning tools. Unlike swabs or solvents that risk scratching the endface or breaking delicate fibers, CleanTouch™ provides:
  • Gentle, controlled cleaning of sensitive bare fibers
  • No risk of damage to connector ferrules or fiber tips
  • Tool-free operation that’s easy for any technician to use
Each unit features a patterned cleaning surface that delivers consistent results and can be used across a wide variety of fiber types. Whether you're working with standard telecom fibers, custom probes, or specialty connectors, CleanTouch™ is the go-to solution for maintaining optimal performance.
🧪 Lab-Tested. Field-Ready.
CleanTouch™ is compact and lightweight, making it ideal for both in-lab use and on-the-go fieldwork. It’s a perfect companion for inspection systems, polishing stations, and any fiber preparation workflow that demands speed and precision.
