Can propanol be used to clean fiber optic cable?

Yes, isopropyl alcohol (propanol) can be used to clean fiber optic cables, as it effectively removes dust, oils, and other contaminants without leaving residue. However, it's crucial to use a high-purity version (at least 99%) to avoid potential issues with moisture or impurities. Additionally, it’s recommended to use lint-free wipes to prevent scratching the fiber ends during cleaning. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for cleaning to ensure optimal performance.
