Hubbell Premise Wiring OFSTIX50LC Lc Mu Apc Fiber Cleaner 50 Pack

Product Description

The HUBBELL PREMISE WIRING OFSTIX50LC is a fiber optic connector cleaning tool designed for LC and MU style APC (angled physical contact) connectors. Sold in a 50-pack, it is a dry-cleaning stick format intended to remove contamination from fiber end-faces before mating or testing. Dirty fiber connections are a leading cause of signal loss and reflectance failures. This cleaner is used by low-voltage technicians, fiber splicing contractors, and data infrastructure installers who need a consistent, one-use cleaning solution that meets end-face cleanliness standards before connector insertion.

The OFSTIX50LC is suited for structured cabling installations in commercial buildings, data centers, and telecommunications closets where LC and MU APC connectors are commonly deployed. It is particularly useful during initial fiber termination, troubleshooting, or maintenance work where connector hygiene must be verified before patching. The APC-specific geometry of the cleaning tip is matched to the angled ferrule profile of APC connectors, making it appropriate for single-mode APC patch panel and adapter cleaning tasks.

Key Features

• Designed for LC and MU APC fiber optic connectors with angled ferrule geometry
• Single-use dry-cleaning stick format reduces risk of recontamination
• 50-pack quantity supports high-volume installation and maintenance workflows
• Removes dust, oil, and debris from connector end-faces before mating
• Compatible with APC adapter ports without damaging the angled ferrule

Compatibility

Designed for use with LC and MU style APC (angled physical contact) fiber optic connectors as indicated in the product data. No additional specific model or system compatibility was stated in the available product information.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and fiber optic installers should use connector cleaners prior to every connector insertion, particularly during initial termination and after any connector has been left uncapped. Always inspect the end-face with a fiber inspection scope before and after cleaning to confirm cleanliness to IEC 61300-3-35 standards. Do not reuse a single-use cleaning stick, as a used tip may redeposit contamination. Follow the fiber plant owner's cleaning and inspection procedures and applicable TIA-568 structured cabling standards.
