LC/APC Polishing Disc

Overview

The LC/APC Polishing Disc is a precision tool designed for the manual polishing process of fiber optic connectors. It is specifically engineered to hold LC/APC connectors securely, ensuring the correct geometry and finish during the polishing cycle.

This disc provides the necessary physical support to achieve consistent physical contact performance, which is vital for maintaining low insertion loss and high return loss in fiber optic networks. It is suitable for use in laboratory, field repair, and assembly environments.

Key Features

• Precision Connector Retention
  Specifically designed to hold LC/APC ferrules for accurate polishing alignment.
• Durable Construction
  Built to withstand repeated use in standard fiber termination environments.
• Geometry Control
  Ensures the proper end-face geometry required for APC performance standards.
• Manual Polishing Support
  Optimized for use with standard fiber optic polishing films and pads.
• Consistent Results
  Facilitates uniform material removal across the connector ferrule.
• Easy Operation
  Allows for efficient connector loading and unloading during the termination process.

Applications

• Fiber optic connector termination
• Field fiber repairs
• Laboratory fiber testing assemblies
• Connector end-face refurbishment
