Why a pre-polished connector for field termination

LAN ENVIRONMENT

Mid/low number of FO connectors

Terminations mostly on break-out cable

Short links, limited testing equipments (power meter very seldom OTDR)

Good, reliable, quick connections

LAN INSTALLERS

Mid/low experience with FO termination

Manual skill not improvable because of termination quantity/frequency

Limited tools and consumable availability


Cost

Connector with very limited tools and no consumable

Very fast and secure termination

No scrap for termination and polishing errors

No need or very limited training

Quality

Factory polished and tested connector gives better performance

Suitable for all LAN applications where APC is not required (CATV)

Must to meet Standard requirement for APC, SPC, UPC

Why a pre-polished connector for field termination


Pre-polished connector for field termination

Functional parts

prepolished fiber stub

coupling medium(index mating gel)

Ceramic ferrule with factorypolished end face

The upper part of the plug is opened with a "wedge" (here not shown). This opens the space to introduce a field stripped and cleaved fiber from the rear. Closing the upper part the fiber will be fixed and hold in place.

Continuity Test System CTS

CTS (Continuity Test System) allows to

check the quality of fiber splice.

Light is not be visible in the cam area if

splice action is successfully completed.

If light is visible, splice procedure must be

repeated from beginning to ensure optimum

installation.
