Abstract
A join end face of an optical connector is easily and reliably cleaned when the optical connector has been inserted into a connector housing, by using an optical connector cleaning unit comprising a cleaning member which wipes clean a join end face of an optical connector inside a connector housing by relative motion against the join end face, a drive mechanism which drives the cleaning member, and a connection section which enables a drive auxiliary mechanism for applying a moving force to the drive mechanism to be connected, and an optical connector cleaning tool in which a drive auxiliary unit comprising the drive auxiliary mechanism has been connected to the connection section of the optical connector cleaning unit.
