Clean First. Connect Faster with Sticklers Products and Expert Support

Sticklers helps fiber professionals reduce troubleshooting, improve first-pass success, and keep network installations moving with expert guidance and industry-leading fiber optic cleaning solutions.

A single contaminated fiber optic connector can turn a routine installation into hours of troubleshooting. That's why Sticklers helps installers, contractors, distributors, and network operators improve first-pass success with proven cleaning solutions backed by expert technical support.

One of the simplest ways to improve fiber network performance is also one of the most important: clean every connector before inspection and every connection before mating.

Microscopic dust, oils, and other contaminants are among the leading causes of insertion loss, back reflection, failed inspections, and intermittent network issues. Although these contaminants are often invisible to the naked eye, they can significantly impact installation efficiency and long-term network reliability.

"Every minute spent troubleshooting a dirty connector is time that could have been spent completing the installation," said Rick Hoffman, Commercial Sales Manager for Sticklers. "We're committed to helping fiber professionals work more efficiently by providing the cleaning solutions, technical expertise, and application support they need to get the job done right the first time."
