OVERVIEW

Get ready for the easiest fiber connections you’ve ever
made with the Fiber Connector Tool Kit and Prepolished
Fiber Connectors.

The rotating cam on the ST

®

and FC Prepolished Fiber

Connectors makes termination quick and smooth.

All connectors come with a fiber optic stub in the
connector tip, which is cemented firmly in place. The stub
is polished to a physical-contact (PC) finish. Because the
connectors are prepolished, you get the strength of a bonded
connection without polishing and epoxy during installation.
That makes it easy to get peak performance.

The connector housing is designed to make matching up
the fiber stub and cable easy. Insert a stripped and cleaved
fiber cable in the connector , and when you feel little or no

resistance, the fiber and stub and are matched up correctly.
Then just crimp!

Mechanical Splice and Tray

To splice fiber cables, choose the No-Adhesive Mechanical
Splice. Insert a stripped and cleaved fiber cable into each end
of the splice and twist. A cam locks the fibers into position
for accurate alignment. To protect and organize your splices,
use the Mechanical 6-Splice Tray. The tray holds six spliced
connections securely.

NOTE: You can also order the tools separately.
NOTE: FO041–FO044 are also available in 10-packs. For details,
