Sticklers to unveil PRO360° cleaner at ANGA COM 2026

Sticklers will show its PRO360° Touchless Cleaner at ANGA COM 2026 in Cologne. The product is aimed at fibre cleaning work in telecom, broadband and data centre environments.

The system is designed as an automated, non-contact cleaner for fibre end faces in higher-volume network settings. It uses an atomised spray of cleaning fluid and compressed air to remove dust, oils and debris, leaving connector end faces clean and dry within seconds.

The cleaner supports 1.25 mm, 2.5 mm and MPO connectors through standard adaptors. It can run on a rechargeable battery or line power, allowing use in both field and bench-top environments.

Each canister provides more than 2,100 contactless cleans. The product is being presented alongside a wider range of fibre cleaning tools, including cleaning sticks, wipes and fluids for connector cleaning and maintenance.

Network demand

The launch comes as network operators and service providers continue to expand fibre infrastructure for broadband, mobile backhaul and data centre links. In these environments, contamination on connector end faces can affect installation, maintenance and network reliability.

ANGA COM serves as a preeminent international platform, consistently attracting a diverse assembly of high-level network operators, sophisticated equipment manufacturers, and innovative service providers from across the global communications landscape.

With a strategic focus on the evolving realms of broadband and media, the exhibition functions as a pivotal nexus for suppliers specializing in the deployment of next-generation infrastructure, including fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), 5G cellular technology, and various other high-capacity, high-speed network architectures.

It also supports customers through its Critical Cleaning Lab and field technicians. The company operates an ISO 9001:2015-registered quality system and sells products under brands including MicroCare, Sticklers, MicroCare Medical, Spec Clean and Tergo.

Cleaning focus

Fibre connector cleaning remains a routine part of network deployment and maintenance because dust and residue can interfere with signal transmission. Automated systems have gained attention in parts of the market where operators want more consistent cleaning processes across larger volumes of connectors.

Sticklers is positioning the PRO360° Touchless Cleaner for settings where repeatable cleaning and reduced manual handling matter. The non-contact approach is intended to help technicians clean connectors without direct contact with the end face.

“Consistent fibre connector cleaning is essential for maintaining network reliability,” said Liam Taylor, European Business Manager, Fibre Optics, Sticklers.

“The PRO360° provides a fast, automated cleaning option for high-volume environments while supporting industry best practices for fibre end-face cleanliness,” Taylor said.
