Fibre Cabling and Solutions
Termination Kit & FiberscopeTM
The FC Connector is used extensively in the telecommunications market, where long singlemode optical fibre cables can run
upwards of 50km. In these extreme situations the connector needs to have extremely low loss and accurate geometry.
Whether termination procedures are taking place on-site or in a production facility, the Fibre Fox Termination Kit provides all
the necessary equipment and consumables for manufacturing cabling assemblies and terminating cables.
The FC Optical Fibre Connector comprises of a nickel plated brass body and a ceramic ferrule/spring/crimp barrel assembly
plus a crimp over sleeve and rubber boot. These connectors are suitable for 900μm and 2 and 3mm cables. The connector is
precision made and manufactured to demanding specifications. The combination of a ceramic ferrule and a precision nickel
plated brass housing provides consistent long-term mechanical and optical performance.
The kit is supplied in a rugged carry case, resistant to demanding on-site working conditions. Fibre Fox termination kits are
available from stock with replacement consumables available individually. The Fibre Fox Fyberscope™ is the ideal instrument
for carrying out the necessary visual checks on a fibre optic ferrule.
Connectors are available in both multimode and singlemode options. One piece design features preradiused ceramic ferrules.
Suitable for use with two part heat curing epoxies and cold cure anaerobic adhesives. Generally there are two types of
alignment sleeve within an adaptor; phosphor bronze for multimode or zirconia (ceramic) for singlemode. The FC connector
and adaptor set are mainly used for singlemode applications where precision is required. With its simple to use locking thread
mechanism preventing accidental disconnection, this provides a very secure connection.
