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, even in crowded fiber nodes.
3M offers a broad 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 splicing fibers in a fiber node cabinet in the CATV industry, 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.
3M has simplified the SC connector to enhance performance and cable retention, and provide a readily field mountable connector. The connectorcomplies with the NTT, JIS, ISO/IEC and TIA/EIA component and ISO/IEC, CENELEC, ANSI, TIA/EIA-568A and BICSI system and cabling level standards.
The ST connector product line provides high repeatability and low light loss for premises, LAN and telco applications. All 3M ST connectors meet the specifications in TIA/EIA 568B.3 and are compatible with the AT&T ST connector product line as well as Systimax components and other ST connector products. The 3M products are supplied with a high quality PC finish on zirconia ceramic ferrules.
The FC connector is a field mountable, pull-proof connector that is fully compatible with all FC connectors adhering to the NTT specification. The FC connector can maximize termination yield through ease of mounting and a high performance polishing procedure.
Termination kits and accessories provide tools and materials necessary to terminate the major fiber optic connectors in the industry today. A variety of kits are available to meet your needs in terminating all kinds of connectors.
