Fiber Optic Cable Preparation

and Termination

The Right Fiber Optic Tool for the Job

Fiber optic connectors are designed to be connected and disconnected many times without affecting the optical

performance of the fiber circuit. The key to this performance is the error-free termination of the contact terminus to

the fiber circuit—a task which requires the use of a wide range of specialized tooling. Glenair’s extensive experience

in building fiber optic interconnect cables has enabled us to select the right tools for each step in the termination

and assembly process. Our Fiber Optic Termination and Test Probe Kits allow field technicians the convenience of

completing final termination of precision termini on location for easy and efficient cable routing and installation. Each

kit contains pin and socket polishing tools, jacket strippers, shears, scribes—literally all the tools and supplies required

for ongoing termination and test of fiber optic systems. Polishing tools are also sold separately for factory use or as

replacement parts in field termination kits.
