General SC F728 & FC F729 Radiall, thanks to its new range of SC and FC connectors has greatly improved these traditional fiber optic connectors in terms of technology and reliability. One-piece connector tunability 6 tuning positions available. For this technique a high-accuracy tuning tool has been developed. It allows optimizing a cable assembly in a matter of seconds. The tuning process follows the cabling operation and is performed at the front of the connector. Thanks to this new concept, optimization at any time, of any standard cable assembly using Radiall connectors now becomes possible. Secured bonding n exclusive patented system protects the floating mechanism, during the resininjection process. slot on the crimping body allows the removal of the syringe without the needle touching any sensitive area. Crimping reliability mini metallic tube is inserted between the fiber and the cable jacket to protect the fiber and avoid any stress. The shape of the crimping ring is adapted to ensure excellent cable retention. Protection boot The unique shape of this boot hugs the cable so that optical performances are maintained even when the cable is twisted or pulled at an angle. The Vo rated material has been selected to ensure that smoke and gas emission during a possible fire are minimized. Meets Bellcore requirements. Duplex SC connector The fully-removable duplex brace is a very innovative solution. The brace is fitted after the cabling operation. When the installation procedures require, the identification of the optical channel ( or B) can be changed by reversing the cover. Standardisation of components Boots and crimping rings are the same for both SC and FC connectors. It makes it very easy for the operator to freely manage their supplies according to the cable to be connected. Cabling procedures standardisation Identical stripping dimensions and the same crimping hexagons simplify the tooling requirements and operator training. SC and FC connectors are available in PC and PC versions. RDILL Patented Technology 5
General ST F709 number of innovative benefits from the latest generation of SC and FC connectors have been integrated into the ST series Crimping reliability The ST connector is available with the "secure crimp" option to meet the requirements of operators using the connectors in sensitive environments. Protection boot The entire ST range includes the new rear boot in every cable version. For all SC, FC, ST Series Extended Coding System ll product is available as a connector body dedicated to a type of cable, or a basic version allowing the operator to order accessories separately (protection boots, crimping rings, etc.) Packed per unit or per 100. Connectors are arranged in a rigid blister pack* containing no more than 100 connectors. Connectors are held vertically in individual cells, with the optic tip upwards. transparent cover provides dust protection and allows viewing the contents. *Recyclable materials ST is a registered trade mark of T&T 6
