Overview
The Tempo Communications PA1926-1 is a precision-engineered polishing puck designed for the manual termination of 1.25mm LC fiber optic connectors. This tool ensures consistent fiber end-face geometry during the polishing process, which is critical for achieving optimal optical return loss and signal integrity in fiber networks.
Constructed with an aluminum body and a specialized, durable tungsten coating, this puck is built for extended service life in demanding field termination environments. The advanced coating reduces the accumulation of debris that can damage fiber end-faces, resulting in cleaner polishes and fewer re-terminations. It is intended for use by fiber technicians and contractors performing onsite repairs or new installations.
