About the Cisco CRS-1 Fiber-Optic Cleaning Kit

All optical connections in a multishelf system are cleaned using the Cisco CRS-1 fiber-optic cleaning

kit. This kit includes a tool that advances a lint-free cloth across the optical surface to remove any

contaminants. The cleaning kit also includes an adapter for each connector type. The adapter ensures

that the cleaning tool is inserted at the correct angle and depth for cleaning.
