IF-C-S2/S3/S4
rev 5/22/04
The IF-C-S2/S3 fiber connector is designed specifically for industry standard
1000 µm core plastic communication fiber optic cable with a jacket of 2.2 mm
O.D. It provides the versatility required to join and rejoin fiber cable segments
accurately and reliably, like standard ferruled fiber connections do. This multi-
purpose connector uses the same attachment as the IFO LED and photodetector
products, which means quick and easy assembly without the need for fiber fer-
rules or polishing.
The connector can be used with index-matching gel, for reducing Fresnel reflec-
tion losses, or without gel for quick and easy connections. The IF-C-S3 and -S4
models both include a thin electrical nut for attachment in bulkhead and panel
mount applications. The IF-C-S4 model has a straight 2.2 mm core which elimi-
nates requirement that the jacket be stripped, making it a direct replacement for
the obsolete IF-C-S1. The IF-C-S2 version is for basic fiber connections or splices
and does not include a mounting nut.

1. Cut off the end of the first optical
fiber cable with a single-edge razor
blade or sharp knife. Try to obtain a
precise 90-degree angle (square).
2. Use a stripping tool to remove 3.5 to
4 mm (1/8 to 3/16 inches) of jacket
from the end of the fiber.
3. (Optional) Dip the end of the fiber
into index-matching gel.
4. Insert the fiber cable through the
cinch nut and into the connector
until the jacket seats.
5. Screw the cinch nut down to a snug
fit, securing the fiber into place.
6. Repeat for second fiber cable.
