3M™ Crimplok™+ connectors provide fast, easy field installation of multimode and singlemode fibers without a splice, gel or adhesive. The connectors are available in SC, SM, ST, LC compatible with a metallic element that mechanically locks the fiber in place. Crimplok+ connectors have a thermally balanced design that is tested for premises and FTTP applications for indoor and outdoor conditions from -14°F to 140°F. The connectors have a streamlined boot attached to the body, minimizing the chance of losing or forgetting to install it during the termination process. After the installation, the boot keeps the fiber from kinking, even during side pull.
The 3M™ No Polish connector (NPC) is similar to the Crimplok connector, utilizing a one piece, pre-assembled design that eliminates field polishing and loose parts. It is ideal for FTTP drop terminations as well as LAN structured cabling backbone, and fiber-to-the-enclosure applications. With a factory-polished ferrule assembly and a mechanical splice, the connector can be quickly installed — without electrical power — using a simple field tool that is included in every box of 60 connectors.
