Overview
This 3µm diamond lapping film is specifically engineered for high-precision fiber optic connector end-face polishing. Designed for use with automated machine polishing equipment, these 5-inch discs provide the consistent, repeatable finish required for professional fiber optic cable assembly production.
Constructed with a 3 mil durable backing, these discs are optimized for effective material removal and surface refinement. The pink color-coded format ensures easy grit identification in a production environment, helping to prevent cross-contamination during multi-step polishing processes. These discs feature a plain back (non-PSA) design for standard machine mounting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these discs self-adhesive?
No, these are plain-backed discs without PSA, designed for use with machines that require non-adhesive mounting.
Is the 3µm grit size suitable for final finishing?
3µm is typically used as an intermediate step in the polishing process; final polishing usually requires a finer grit depending on the connector requirements.
What machine types are these compatible with?
These 5" discs are compatible with standard industry fiber optic polishing machines that utilize 5" platens.
Can I use these for hand polishing?
These discs are specifically designed for machine polishing applications to ensure the consistent geometry required for high-performance connections.
Are other grit sizes available in this style?
Yes, polishing film is available in a variety of grit sizes to accommodate different stages of the polishing process.
