Signamax field-installable pre-polished connectors allow reducing installation time significantly owing to the absence of need to use adhesives and polishing. This unique feature makes possible to eliminate field termination errors and to provide equal quality of connection performed by an experienced installer and apprentice. Available in multimode (62.5Mu (OM1), 50Mu (OM2), 50Mu laseroptimized (LO) (OM3/OM4), and singlemode ST, SC, and LC versions, fieldinstallable connectors feature a polished ferrule with a factory-installed fiber stub, which splices in the field to distribution cable fibers using an integrated alignment mechanism and index-matching gel. The alignment mechanism is activated with the help of a termination clip, which is supplied with each connector; after successful termination, the clip is removed. Field-installable connectors are designed to terminate 250 and 900Mu buffered fibers, and 2 and 3mm jacketed fibers.
