Fiber Optic Termination, Assembly, Inspection and Cleaning Tools

Glenair: One Stop Shopping for All Your Fiber Optic Interconnection System Tooling Requirements

The Right Fiber Optic Tool for the Job
Fiber optic connectors are designed to be connected and disconnected many times without affecting the optical performance of the fiber circuit. The key to this performance is the error-free termination of the contact terminus to the fiber circuit—a task which requires the use of a wide range of specialized tooling. Glenair's extensive experience in building fiber optic interconnect cables has enabled us to select the right tools for each step in the termination and assembly process. Our Fiber Optic Termination and Test Probe Kits allow field technicians the convenience of completing final termination of precision termini on location for easy and efficient cable routing and installation. Each kit contains pin and socket polishing tools, jacket strippers, shears, scribes—literally all the tools and supplies required for ongoing termination and test of fiber optic systems. Polishing tools are also sold seperately for factory use or as replacement parts in field termination kits.

The Band-It® Shield Termination System
The Band-It® Clamping System provides quick, easy and highly-reliable termination of braided shielding or fabric braid. Glenair has designed banding platforms into a number of our specialized fiber optic backshells and conduit adapters. Individual clamping tools, bands and kits are available.

Inspection and Cleaning Systems
Glenair has selected the industry's best Video Bore Scope Inspection System for efficient troubleshooting of fiber media. The Glenair video inspection system supplies everything you need to quickly and conveniently inspect and clean butt-jointed fiber optic contacts. Optional add- ons enable turnkey integration with computer desktops, digital cameras and powerful optical test software. The CleanBlast® system creates a laminar flow of a highly filtered gas across the surface of the fiber. A solvent is then introduced and atomized to create a cleaning mist that leaves the fiber contamination free, ensuring that your cable is serving at its optimal performance.
