New 3M Field Terminated Fiber Connectors for Enterprise Applications

New models increase reliability and flexibility and reduce installation costs.

3M has expanded its line of fiber optic connectors to speed up on-site installation tasks in corporate networks (Enterprise).

These one-piece pre-assembled designs have been developed to be finished in the field and offer a completely custom solution with reliable mechanical connectivity..

Mechanical field terminations eliminate the need for complex tooling and cable end storage while reducing installation time and minimizing investment.

The LC Fiber Connector Family, SC and now ST allows technicians, design engineers and data center managers install, customize and maintain a network architecture with a single product range.

ST connector without polishing

The 3M ST Non Polish Connector accelerates on-site installation of cable terminations. 250 y 900 µm using a one-piece pre-assembled design. This addition completes the line of polish-free connectors (NPC) de 3M.

Crimplok+ connector

The 3M Crimplok+ connector is also ideal for single-mode and multimode fiber field installations. 250 y 900 µm. Combining the assembly speed of mechanical splicing models and the performance of fusion splicers, This is the first FTTX field-mounted connector that exceeds the requirements of indoor and outdoor applications without splicing., gel or adhesive. This SC-compatible connector has a metal element that mechanically holds the fiber.

Choosing the most appropriate connectivity product allows for efficient deployment to provide reliable customer service..

Besides, against the costs associated with factory terminated cables (inventory and storage of cable blanks and the pre-terminated cables themselves), Many suppliers are opting for field-terminated connectors that enable installation customization.
