SC Hand Polishing Disc

Overview

The SC Hand Polishing Disc is a precision-machined tool designed for manual fiber optic connector polishing. Often referred to as a "hockey puck," this device serves as a critical interface for technicians to achieve high-quality, consistent end face finishes during field termination or repair processes.

Constructed from durable steel, this disc is engineered to maintain the precise orientation of the fiber optic ferrule relative to the polishing film. By ensuring the correct angle throughout the manual polishing sequence, it helps operators produce reliable optical performance in diverse installation environments.
