Overview
The SC/APC Hand Polishing Disc is a precision tool designed for the manual polishing of fiber optic connector end faces. This disc, often referred to as a "polishing puck," ensures that the connector is held at the exact required angle relative to the polishing film during the termination process.
Constructed from durable machined steel, this tool is engineered to withstand frequent use in the field or in a shop environment. By maintaining consistent pressure and orientation, it enables technicians to achieve professional-grade end-face geometries and repeatable performance results.
