Hot Melt Connectors are among the most popular with contractors because
of their reliability and ease of use. They come pre-loaded with an adhesive with
a very long shelf life, and the termination procedure provides the ability to reheat
and reposition the fiber in the termination process. This easy-to-install field mount
connector provides reliable performance in indoor and outdoor applications and has
no internal splice.
All 3M hot melt connectors can be terminated using the same 3M

LC Hot Melt
Expansion Kit 6650-LC which includes a weighted polishing jig to provide a PC
centered apex end face.

Multimode Duplex LC Connector 6600
Applications
The 3M Hot Melt Connectors are specifically designed for installation in
singlemode and multimode fiber data transport systems, including the latest OM3
and OM4 laser optimized fibers for multi-gigabit tansmission speed. These include
building and campus Local Area Network (LAN) backbones, factory and industrial
control systems, traffic control systems and enterprise networks.

Multimode ST Connector 6100
Hot Melt Connectors are fast and reliable for termination of multifiber
distribution and breakout cables. They can be used for termination and restoration
of patch cords.
The applications for the hot melt connector are based on TIA-568, ISO 11801, and
EN 50173 standards for performance over environmental extremes.
