AFL Fast Connectors – A quick and simple fiber termination | datacomtools.com

Terminate SC, ST and LC connectors in a minute with the AFL Fast Connector series Fiber Connectors.

FastConnectors_sm

AFL’s new FAST Connectors are pre-polished, field installable connectors that eliminate the need for hand polishing in the field. FAST Connectors provide an immediate termination to either single-mode or multimode fibers.

FAST Connectors feature a pre-stubbed factory-polished ferrule that couples to the fiber being terminated by precision mechanical alignment, insuring low loss with a proprietary gel. Each FAST Connector comes with a factory-installed wedge clip that holds the clamping device open while the fiber is inserted. Once the fiber is in place, the wedge clip is removed and discarded.

FAST connectors are pre-packaged with 900um connector packs only.

2mm and 3mm boots can be purchased separately.

Product Features

– Easy assembly process – Fiber can be reseated – No expensive tools required – No epoxy required – Factory polishing eliminates loss concerns – Meets TIA/EIA 568A performance requirements    Installation takes just minutes and couldn’t be easier. Strip the buffer, cleave and insert the fiber into the Fast Connector. Release the wedge clip…you’re done!

Gone are the expensive tools, jigs and messy epoxy.

See the light! | Patchsee Patch cords

The problem – Where is the other end plugged into?

The Solution

Patch see Category 5e and category 6 copper patch cords with built in fibers for easy identification.

Integrated with two plastic optical fibers running though the RJ45 cables so that each end can be identified via light “see the light”

patchsee

How it works

The light is transmitted by two Plastic Optical Fibers(POF) running through the length of the cables which are bent back at 180° inside the boots at each extremity.

The POF are maintained in accessible position by a plastic boot and along the inner sides of the cable to carry the light injection. The transmission of light does not disturb the electric performance in any way.

The light is injected by the PatchLight or PRO-PatchLight which is placed over the boot at one end of a patch cord in use. The other end of the patch cord is identified thanks to the two luminous dots.

Map your coax network in seconds with the Coax Clarifier Coax Tester

Simply attach the coax clarifier remotes to the coax ends you want to map and hook up the clarifier to the other end.  Test and map your coax network in seconds.  It will even test though coax splitters.

identifies-remotesMaps runs through splitters to show an accurate picture of the coax system layout using up to 4 Coax RF Remotes. Up to 12 ID Only Coax Remotes also available for wiremapping on home runs.

coax-clarifier_1

Dark unpowered coax systems give no clue as to their design, condition or configuration. The new Coax Clarifier Coax Tester by T3 Innovation makes it simple and easy to discern the layout of a coax network, locate faults on individual cable runs, identify remotes through splitters, and determine cable run length. In addition, separate cable mapper sets allow a technician to map out the entire coax system and measure the quality and characterization of the overall network for carrying services, such as high grade video, surveillance data and HD programming.

  • Fast testing using multiple coax mapper remote sets
  • Quickly discover coax system layout configuration to save time
  • All testing in one unit: Discovery, Quality and Condition
  • Clear concise measurement display for easy understanding of the capability of each run
