Abstract
An optical connector cleaning tool includes a tool body, a driving mechanism that moves a cleaning member, an insertion portion that protrudes from the tool body, with a cleaning member disposed at the projected distal end from the tool body and able, by insertion in a connector housing, to cause the portion of the cleaning member disposed at the projected distal end to abut against the connection end face of the optical connector housed in the connector housing, and a connector cleaning guide that positions an optical connector outside the connector housing and the insertion portion and causes the cleaning member and the connection end face of the optical connector to abut, a connector cleaning guide having a first port in which the optical connector can be inserted and a second port in which the insertion portion can be inserted.
