The ones we were shown were fully mechanical. Similar to a camlock but much
cheaper.

Those aren't field assembly connectors, ie the ones with a pre-cleaved polished
stub and gel. Those require epoxy and polishing. Not sure why you would use
them. FS also carries field connectors in the splice on and index gel version.
If you are doing any kind of volume, it makes a whole lot more sense to buy
pigtails for .65 each and splice them yourself.

Why? Because I don't want to buy a fusion splicer for one termination...
Josh;
Saw those, just curuios to know how the cheapies work, 99% they are epoxy
Chuck;
You would be talking about "quick" or "field" connectors that are 5-10$ ea

Ends are irrelivant. What's it cost in manpower alone to do it and fix that
cheap shit, get big, pay a manager to deal with it. Or buy a cost effective
splicer from the get go and quilt F-ing with it. I'm at a point now with
anything fiber related all I will do with the company is what the boss says,
outside of that I deal with my partner. I won't grow the fiber side period.

No epoxy. No polishing. They already have a very short piece of cleaved
fiber in them and it is already epoxied into the business end and polished.

I see these cheap 50 cent LC and SC connectors on FS.com, how do you
terminate them? could someone link a video?
I'm assuming epoxy and polishing with a crimp?
