Abstract
A circular layer of cleaning material is located on a circular elastomer pad located in a circular container. The layer of cleaning material has a surface capable of cleaning an exposed end of an optical fiber when the fiber end is rubbed against the surface of the layer. The circular container includes a base and cover that are relatively manually rotatable when assembled together, and the lid is provided with an opening for receiving the end of the optical fiber.
