Connector termination type introduction

A quick termination fiber connector is actually a mini-pigtail housed in a connector body. There is a fiber stub already bonded into the ferrule in the factory, where the endface of the ferrule is polished to a PC finish. The other end of the fiber is cleaved and resides inside the connector body.
The field fiber is cleaved and inserted into the connector until it “butts up” against the fiber stub. A mechanical clamping process keeps the fiber in place and completes the connector with no epoxy or polishing required.
After strain relieving the fiber to the connector, it is ready to be mated to another connector inside an adapter

Applications for quick termination fiber connectors:
Where a smaller number of connectors are necessary
Where moves, adds, changes or testing are frequently performed
LAN environments where the installer is required to move from termination point to termination point (work areas, telecommunications outlets)
Where maintenance or restoration is required on an active network or system
Applications for traditional epoxy and polish fiber connectors:
Where a large number of connectors will be used
Where added fiber retention is beneficial
Where gel-filled cable is present
Where unique buffer coatings or cable types are used
Environmental conditions that are not aligned with TIA 568-B.3 (Outside Plant, Industrial, etc)
