Optical Terminators
The plug-type optical terminations are used to terminate dark fiber ports on fiber optic components. The zirconia ferrule is polished with an angled or non-angled end face to reduce un-wanted reflections from open ports. These terminations also provide improved personnel safety over other termination methods.
- Reduced backreflection
- Termination possible without use of matching gels
- Easy to install
- Optical terminations are matched to system design
