Overview
The ST 4-Position Hand Polish Disc is a precision-machined tool designed for the manual polishing of fiber optic connectors. This tool ensures that the connector endface is maintained at the correct angle relative to the polishing film, facilitating consistent, high-quality finishes required for optimal optical transmission.
Constructed from durable materials, this polishing disc is designed to withstand the rigors of frequent use in both field environments and shop settings. By stabilizing the connector during the polishing process, it helps technicians achieve repeatable results and reduces the likelihood of fiber damage during termination.
