Abstract
An optical connector cleaning tool includes a fitting portion () fitted in the first or second hole () of a connection component () into which a compact dual core optical connector is fitted on one end side and a cleaning medium () projecting from the fitting portion (). The fitting portion () is formed to have a shape by which the fitting portion () is fitted in the first or second hole () in each of the first and second postures as postures shifted through 180° with respect to as the center the middle (P) of a virtual straight line connecting the centers of the two ferrules when viewed from an axial direction of the compact dual core optical connector. The fitting portion () contacts one ferrule in a state in which the fitting portion () is set in the first posture. The fitting portion () contacts the other ferrule in a state in which the fitting portion () is set in the second posture. There can be provided an optical connector cleaning tool by which the connection end faces of the compact dual core optical connector having two ferrules in one housing can be cleaned.
