CLETOP Station is a stationary cleaner that automates the cleaning of optical connector end faces. In wet mode, an innovative mechanism automatically performs wet and dry cleaning in succession, enabling high-quality and reproducible cleaning simply by plugging in the connector.
This system eliminates issues such as variations in quality among workers, the hassle of re-cleaning, and increased work time, and is particularly effective for cleaning multi-core connectors such as MPO connectors.
Simply insert the connector, and the cleaning is complete, significantly reducing variations in the final result.
Consistent cleaning quality
Automation ensures consistent and stable cleaning quality, regardless of the worker's skill level.
High cleaning yield in multi-core connectors
NTT-AT has combined its cleaning technologies, cultivated over many years, to achieve a higher cleaning yield for multi-core connectors such as MPO compared to manual cleaning.
Before cleaning Red indicates dirt.
After cleaning
Reducing running costs
By using the appropriate amount of cleaning cloth according to the connector type, you can achieve up to six times more cleaning per cartridge (*), reducing running costs. *Compared to our reel-type cleaners. Performance may vary depending on usage conditions.
Selectable dry/wet mode
You can choose between dry and wet cleaning depending on the type of dirt. We handle everything from minor dirt to heavy contamination such as oil, ensuring optimal cleaning quality at all times.
Compatible with various connectors
Supports major connectors such as LC/SC/MPO. The attachments can be easily changed using a sliding mechanism. The device detects which attachment is being used and performs cleaning with the optimal pressure on the cloth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it easy for anyone to use?
Yes. Cleaning can be done simply by inserting the connector, so no special training is required.
Compared to conventional reel-type vacuum cleaners, will the number of cleaning cycles increase?
Yes. While it varies depending on the connector type and cleaning mode, it can achieve up to approximately six times the number of cleaning cycles compared to conventional models. *The number of cleaning cycles varies depending on the connector type, cleaning mode, and usage conditions.
What liquids can be used in wet mode?
Distilled water and alcohol can be used. Distilled water is especially recommended for cleaning after polishing.
Are there replacement consumables such as cleaning cloths available?
Yes. The cleaning cloth cartridge is a replacement consumable. Applicable part number: 14110710 (CLETOP-S replacement cartridge, white tape, 6 pieces/set)
