Description
The Corning Cable Systems Anaerobic-Cure Glass-Insert
ST compatible and SC multimode Connector (GIC) is
designed to incorporate all the polishing advantages of the
glass-in-ceramic ferrule with the quick cure installation of
anaerobic adhesives. The parts have been pre-assembled to
save you time and to improve productivity. Utilizing a metal
ferrule holder, the Anaerobic-Cure GIC can be assembled on
900 m fiber or 3-mm jacketed cable.
The anaerobic adhesive uses a two-part process. The adhesive
is first injected in the ferrule. The fiber is then dipped into
the primer and inserted into the connector. Curing takes one
minute without the use of lamps or ovens.
With the glass-in-ceramic ferrule, the anaerobic adhesive
adheres uniformly to the inside of the glass-insert, ensuring
proper curing through the entire length of the ferrule, includ-
ing the tip, thus allowing a quick and easy hand polish. The
glass insert rapidly polishes to the desired finish without the
laborious and difficult hand polishing of ceramic.
The Corning Cable Systems ST compatible and SC glass-
insert multimode connectors can be completely assembled
and polished in less than three minutes.
