12-Second Fiber Terminations in the Field?

by Bobby Salerno on August 15, 2018
Back in 2017, Siemon thought they had seen the fastest fiber Siemon LightBow_Squarefield termination possible. As part of Siemon's LightBow Madness Contest, Blake Graff, a Siemon Certified Installer from Southern Maryland Cable, terminated a Siemon LC fiber connector in an amazing 15.9 seconds using the LightBow mechanical splice fiber termination system.

Considering that this 15.9 second termination included every step from fiber strip, cleave, and clean to connector termination to strain relief boot installation, the folks at Siemon honestly thought it would never be beaten. 

They were 
wrong.

Rafael Braz, a Siemon sales representative based in Brazil, blew the previous record out of the water with an unreal 11.43 second LC fiber termination using the LightBow system. Don’t feel bad if you find that hard to believe – the team at Siemon had to watch his video a few times before they believed it themselves. But seeing is believing. . .

Check out Rafael’s World Record for yourself, and learn how you can get a free LightBow termination toolkit.

Why does fast matter so much?

To find out just how much fiber termination time can impact your profits, check out Siemon’s Contractor Best Practice Brief: “Selecting the Best Fiber Termination Method for Your Bottom Line Profitability.” Based on a Siemon Labs study of the most common optical fiber field termination methods, this brief was developed specifically to help network cabling and low voltage installation pros determine the most cost-effective fiber termination method for their project needs.
