Non-adhesive Fiber Optic Singlemode and Multimode Connectors
Instructions
1.0 Warnings and Recommendations
1.1
Do not view fiber ends if they are laser illuminated.
Eye damage may result. Illuminate fiber ends with
white light only.
Clean connector ferrules with a dry, lint-free cloth.
The recommended solvent for cleaning fibers and
components prior to connection is isopropyl alcohol
(reagent grade, 99% or better). It may be purchased
from laboratory supply companies. Isopropyl alcohol
may also be used to clean the lapping acetate and
stripping tool when necessary. Do not use acetone
for cleaning.
1.4
The connectors described in this manual have
pre-radiused “PC” “domed” ferrule ends to ensure
low attenuation and the best reflection performance.
All polishing should be done on the soft polishing
pad only, as described in this manual.
The Crimplok ST and SC connectors with PC
finishes are completely intermateable with flat
finished connectors. PC to flat terminations provide
improved performance over flat to flat terminations.
PC to PC terminations; however, offer the
best performance.
Safety glasses should be worn when working with
optical fibers.

Note: Carefully follow safety, health and environmental
information on container label or Safety Data Sheet
for isopropyl alcohol being used.
