Fiber Optic Cable Assemblies
Cable assemblies used in patch
panels (fiber distribution units)
are an essential interface between
fiber outside plant cable and
optical equipment.
Cable assemblies also provide
interconnect capabilities between
equipment and distribution panels
and equipment to equipment.
3M offers pigtails, jumpers,
Accuribbon* fanouts, and pre-
connectorized multi-fiber cable
assemblies.
Standard Cable Assemblies
A single-mode or multimode optical
fiber cable terminated on both ends
with a connector. 3M factory
mounting capabilities assure the
highest transmission quality.
Hybrid Cable Assemblies
A combination of two different
connector designs terminated on
one fiber optic cable. These hybrids
offer ease of connectivity between
transmission and receiver equipment,
as well as other components which
incorporate different connector
designs.
Duplex Cable Assemblies
A combination of four connectors
mounted on duplex fiber optic cable.
Duplex cable assemblies offer ease of
connectivity between transmission and
receiver equipment incorporating dual
transmission paths.
Pigtails
3M can provide pigtails (i.e., one
connectorized end only) on jacketed
and unjacketed fiber optic cable.
Fanouts
The 12-fiber Accuribbon* Fanout is
pre-connectorized for easy termination
in the fiber distribution frame by
mechanical or fusion splicing.
Pre-Connectorized
Multi-Fiber Cable
3M offers a variety of cables
terminated at one or both ends
with the connector of your choice
for easy installation in vault to
frame applications.
Application Specific
Assemblies
Our capabilities include termination
of various styles of cables and
connectors for those customers
with unique requirements.

ST* Connector Cable Assemblies, Bayonet
The Bayonet ST* cable assemblies, available in both multimode and single-mode,
are supplied with a high quality PC finish on zirconia ceramic ferrules. A PC
finish is a convex radius finish on the fiber and ferrule of the connector resulting
in a positive contact of two mated fibers. The PC zirconia ferrule assures low
attenuation and reflected power.
The ST* product line provides high repeatability and low light loss for
premises, LAN and telco applications. The 3M connector design is compatible
with the Systimax* components and other ST* connector products.

coupling using the housing or boot. The connector is also resistant to lateral and
axial pull for increased reliability. The cable assemblies can be converted from
simplex to duplex quickly and easily in the field using the Push-Pull Duplex Clip
with no additional tools or training.

FC/PC Angled Cable Assemblies
In order to meet the system requirements of the cable TV(CATV) industry and
other high-speed digital systems, 3M has developed a single-mode FC 8° angle-
polished connector to minimize reflections to a mean of -80 dB.
Worldwide, there are two defacto standards for FC/APC connectors; a 2.0 mm
nominal connector key and a 2.15 mm connector key are in widespread use. Long
term, it is expected that the 2.0 mm nominal connector key will dominate the
marketplace.
Specially designed, tight key couplings are available for both the 2.0 mm and
2.15 mm connectors which offer premium optical performance. The angled end
finishes of the connectors could also mate with the standard FC couplings with
an additional 0.15 dB insertion loss.
