Piano Wire for Ferrule Cleaning, 12 Per Vial

PW-12

Piano Wires, approximately 100um, 2.5 inches long. 12 Per Vial.
This fiber optic piano wire is designed for cleaning ferrules in Bare Fiber Adapters and fiber optic connectors, removing glass debris that can block the ferrule and disrupt connections. Because glass is brittle, it often breaks during connectorization, leaving debris that can contaminate or clog the ferrule. The piano wire offers a simple, effective solution, pushing out debris without damaging the connector.

Benefits:

  • Clears glass debris from the ferrule’s inner bore
  • Flexible yet strong for reliable cleaning
  • Helps restore and salvage blocked ferrules

  • Material: Very hard metal
  • Diameter: 0.004 in. (slightly less than 125 µm)
  • Length: Approx. 2.5 in. (63 mm)
  • Packaging: Plastic vial with lid
  • Quantity per vial: 12 wires
  • Operating temperature: -40 to 185 °F (-40 to 85 °C)
