3M's new no-polish fiber connector enables fast, on-site installation of single-mode and multimode connections. The connector utilizes a one-piece, pre-assembled design, eliminating field polishing and loose parts, making it easy to make field terminations that improve cable management inside buildings or in the outside plant. The easy-to-use assembly tool allows the installer to align a prepared fiber in the connector and activate the splice and buffer clamp using the same tool. Finger grips on the tool make it easy to handle even without a flat work surface. A connector installation can be completed in less than two minutes.
