<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a cap for an optical fiber connector for achieving efficient work in an optical fiber connector and reliably protecting the top end face of an optical fiber. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The cap 10 is removably attached to the optical fiber connector 40. The cap 10 has a cleaning member 12 for cleaning the top end face 42S of an optical fiber 48. The cleaning member 12 includes a planar elastic member 16 and a cleaning cloth 18 stuck to the elastic member 16. In a movement of attaching the cap 10 to the connector, the cleaning member 12 touches the top end face 42S of the optical fiber 42 to clean the face 42S. When the cap 10 is completely attached to the optical fiber connector 40, the top end is hermetically sealed by the cap 10. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
