Molex Premise Networks has launched a unique fibre termination kit to provide fast and reliable termination. The low cost compact kit is fully operational without power and is easy to use, reducing the installation time to just two minutes per connector.
The self-contained kit comes complete with essential equipment required for carrying out field termination. It includes all necessary cutting, stripping and polishing equipment, 12 connectors, adhesive, accelerant, a stripping template and installer-friendly termination procedures.
The Molex Xpress Termination kit is suitable for local area network (LAN) applications and is designed for use on Xpress ST and SC connectors.
Simple and low loss (0.34dB typical) termination is achieved by combining industry proven zirconia ferrule connector technology with a one-part cold cure adhesive. Once the adhesive has been applied directly to the fibre, a drop of accelerant ensures an almost instantaneous bond between the fibre and ceramic ferrule. The adhesive offers a mechanical benefit over `crimp` type terminations, as it supplies extra support in the ferrule. Normal polishing procedures complete the termination.
The Xpress connectors have been tried and tested in the Molex Reliability Laboratory where they are tested to ensure compliance to IEC 60874-10, IEC 61754-2 and TIA/EIA 568. The connectors have an operational temperature range from -10(C to 60(C.
Polishing consumables and connector kits are available as discrete items.
