Overview
The Polishing Plate provides a stable, flat foundation essential for the manual polishing of fiber optic connector end faces. Designed for use in laboratory or field environments, this plate ensures a uniform surface for polishing films, which is critical for maintaining proper ferrule geometry and achieving high-quality optical finishes.
Constructed from safety glass, the plate is mounted on four rubber feet to prevent slipping during the polishing process. It is compatible with both soft and hard polishing pads, providing the necessary support to remove epoxy effectively without damaging the pre-radius of the connector ferrule.
