Using field-installable connectors, where the connectors are mounted on site, avoids the need for accurate surveying of the often complex cable runs before placing the cables.
Cable is pulled in and can be cut to the required length at the connecting hardware. As a result, field-installable connectors are often considerably more flexible than pre-terminated cables and the planning effort can be reduced significantly. In addition, the use of filed-installable connectors is less expensive than pre-termintaed cables and reduces hardware, space and the associated costs.
Ordinary field-installable connectors using epoxy and polish techniques frequently do not meet the requirementss of modern networks due to variable craftmanship and poor reproducibility. Overpolishing or underpolishing of the end face, scatches on th eferrule end surface or interfering adhesive residues frequently degrade the quality. In addition, environmental factors such as contamination or poor lighting conditions on site can also hamper installation.
The field-installable UniCam connector versions provide a high-quality alternative to epoxy and polish connectors. They provide simple, quick and reliable connector installation on site. Fiber stubs are pre-installed in the ferrules of the UniCam conectors at the factory, thus eliminating the critical epoxy and polish operations in the field. This approach also allows the necessary high quality, controlled endface processing to be performed as part of the production process in the factory, thus reducing field technician influence to a minimum. On site, the stripped and cleave field fibers are inserted into the UniCam connnectors and retained. A mechanical splice inside the connector establishes the low-loss connection between the field fibre and the pre-installed fiber inside the connector.
To have detailed technical information about UniCam connectors and technology, have a look at the UniCam Connector Resources in Corning Cable System web-site, where you can find technical datasheets, presentation, installation procedures and any other necessary information
To select the right product and Anixter Code simply consult the UniCam LineCard with a quick overview of the whole connector solution. |
