2. Jan. 2006 R&M range_connectors for field termination / Page 2 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

3. Jan. 2006 R&M range_connectors for field termination / Page 3 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

4. Jan. 2006 R&M range_connectors for field termination / Page 4 Pre-polished connector for field termination Functional parts prepolished fiber stub coupling medium (index mating gel) Ceramic ferrule with factory polished 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.
