FIELD-INSTALLABLE CONNECTORS
* All 50/125 field-installable connectors are suitable for use with 10 Gigabit (10GBASE-SR applications
and 10GFC) systems.
The most critical point in any optical
interconnect is the physical contact
interface between mated connector
pairs. When polishing fiber connectors,
a small lens is created at the tip of the
connector and the shape of this lens
critically impacts transmission of light.
Utilizing advanced laser interferometry
equipment to monitor the manufacturing
process, Ortronics

pre-
polished field termination connectors
exhibit highly controlled end-face
geometry resulting in reliable, low
insertion loss, minimal return loss
connections. In addition, this approach
eliminates imprecise epoxy application,
time consuming curing, and highly
variable hand polishing from field
installation practices. The net effect
is reduced installation expense,
higher yield field terminations, and
better performance.
