The simple, yet sophisticated, design of the new FiberExpress Brilliance Connector enables contractors to terminate a tight buffered fiber in just three simple steps:
Insert the fiber into the connector
Using the index finger, slide the connector’s switch-like activator toward the fiber to be terminated to bring about the splice/crimp
Slide the boot on the connector body – and it’s done!
This fiber installation procedure is accomplished without using any specific or proprietary installation tools. The built-in activator performs the fiber splicing and crimping action within the connector, thus reducing the number of steps involved by 50% (as compared with most field-installable connectors). Brilliance Field-Installable Connectors can be used for loose tube fiber installations, with the addition of a break-out kit, so installers can achieve the same reliability and improved fiber yields as with tight buffered terminations. Brilliance Connectors are also built to withstand a wider range of temperatures (-400 to +750 C) than traditional fiber connectors.
