Polishing Plate Glass 6" x 9" with Feet

Overview

The 6" x 9" Polishing Plate is designed to provide a stable, perfectly flat surface essential for high-quality fiber optic connector termination and polishing. By providing a rigid foundation for polishing films, this plate ensures consistent end-face geometry, critical for maintaining optical performance and minimizing signal loss.

Constructed from durable safety glass, this plate is built for use in controlled fiber laboratory and field termination environments. The inclusion of four non-slip rubber feet ensures that the assembly remains stationary during manual polishing, protecting both the operator's workspace and the connector finish.

Key Features

• Safety Glass Construction
  Provides a high-rigidity, flat surface to ensure uniform material removal across the connector end-face.
• Integrated Rubber Feet
  Ensures stability on workbenches to prevent unwanted movement during the precision polishing process.
• Optimized Dimensions
  The 6" x 9" footprint offers ample space for various polishing motions and film sizes.
• Connector Compatibility
  Ideal for manual polishing workflows, including PC style pre-radius connectors when paired with a soft pad.
• Epoxy Removal Support
  Provides the necessary rigid backing to effectively remove excess epoxy without damaging the ferrule.
• Durable Design
  Engineered to withstand the repetitive nature of fiber optic cable assembly and termination.

Applications

• Fiber optic connector polishing
• Epoxy removal
• Connector end-face maintenance
• Fiber optic lab termination
