Drawing on 70 years of adhesive expertise and 40 years of experience in ceramic technology, 3M provides the most convenient, reliable and easy-to-install connectors for fiber installations. Available in all standard styles and multiple termination configurations, 3M's fiber optic connector line is widely regarded for reliability and ease of installation.
3M offers a complete line of fiber connectors for consistent, reliable high performance, including SC, FC, LC and ST connectors and couplings. 3M fiber connectors provide the widest range of choices to meet every need.
For indoor fiber terminating, 3M solutions include the only LC hot melt connectors in the industry. These connectors provide MSOs with a uniquely fast and easy approach to connections in high-density fiber environments. The innovative hot-melt adhesive makes it possible to install them in under two minutes. And with twice the density of SC connectors, it's easy to fit more connections into a small physical area.
For maximum ease of use in headend installations, 3M offers the 3M™ Crimplok™ connectors. These simple-to-install connectors combine the speed and convenience of a non-adhesive solution with the leading performance characteristics of hot melt connectors.
When it comes to splicing fibers, 3M™ Fibrlok™ Optical Splicing is unique in the industry. Only 3M offers this incredibly fast fiber splicing technology. With Fibrlok mechanical splicing, fiber splices take less than 30 seconds. And with no epoxy or electricity necessary, splicing is simple for anyone. Minimal tooling requirements keep initial capital costs low, in contrast with the high expense of a fusion splicer.
