No-epoxy, no-polish connectors a.k.a. UniCam
No-epoxy, no-polish connectors are easy to install, high-performing connectors and Corning’s UniCam connector is the industry standard for field-termination connectors. A wide-array of skill sets can be utilized for both single-termination repair and replace or high-termination locations where hundreds, if not thousands, of individual terminations are required.
In no-epoxy, no-polish connectors, installers mate a cleaved fiber up against a pre-polished fiber stub pre-installed in the connector where it is then secured in place using a camming motion. The total installation ranges from only 1-5 minutes depending on user skill.
Corning UniCam connectors provide feedback on performance and help the installer determine whether they can proceed or repeat the process.
In case you missed it: here’s the comparison table we shared in our last blog post, highlighting UniCam’s value compared to other connectorization types.
