<p>An apparatus for cleaning backplane optical connectors is described herein. According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a cleaner guide having a frontend and a backend, where the cleaner guide has a cleaning channel extended from the frontend to the backend and the backend includes a mounting bracket for removably mounting a connector adapter. When the cleaner guide is inserted into a slot of the chassis, the connector adapter is aligned and engaged with an optical connector disposed on a backplane of the network chassis, such that a cleaner tool can be inserted from the frontend of the cleaner guide, through the cleaning channel, to reach the connector adapter of the backend for cleaning the optical connector, without having to remove an adjacent circuit pack of the network chassis. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.</p> |
