An Evolant™ Solutions Product
Description
Corning Cable Systems’ epoxy and polish product line
includes a full line of single-mode and multimode epoxy and
polish connectors for factory installation. We offer a wide
range of connector styles, hardware and boot options.
Preradiused and angled ferrules are also available.
Corning Cable Systems’ new composite multimode ferrule offers
excellent performance at a very low price. The redesigned
ferrule allows easier fiber entry. It has the lowest material cost
available. The standard multimode zirconia ceramic ferrule
has a radiused end-face to allow physical contact (PC) polishing.
The hardware on the ST
®
compatible connector is available in
either composite thermoplastic or metal. Both feature a closed
keyway design allowing the connector to far exceed performance
specifications for tensile strength. The SC connector features a
shroud that is duplexable with a simple clip. The FC and SC
connectors have non-optical disconnect features. All connectors
are pre-assembled for easy installation.
For Super or Ultra PC, the single-mode zirconia ceramic
ferrule has a radiused end-face to allow physical contact (PC)
polishing. A consumables kit and procedure are available for
hand-polishing to a Super PC finish, yielding a reflectance of
-40 dB average. Ultra PC (-55 dB) may be achieved by using
our automatic polisher, the SP500. For angled PC, the FC and
SC are available. The ferrule is pre-angled and must be polished
with Corning Cable Systems’ SP500 automatic polisher. A typical
reflectance of -65 dB is achievable with this process.
