Re: [AFMUG] how to terminate cheap LC
The ones linked in TJ's link is definitely not the field mechanical splices. It's the simple epoxy/polish ends. We've used these with success...as long as the cable is the right size. http://www.sweetplaza.com/good-quality-of-popular-huamai-brand-fiber-junction-with-sc-port-singlemodel_p0978.html Regards, Chuck On Mon, Oct 17, 2016 at 9:51 AM, Carl Peterson wrote: > Those aren't field assembly connectors, ie the ones with a pre-cleaved > polished stub and gel.

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.

Re: [AFMUG] how to terminate cheap LC
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.

Re: [AFMUG] how to terminate cheap LC
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.

Re: [AFMUG] how to terminate cheap LC
Inside them is a v block and index matching gel. You have to strip and cleave the fiber and then just slide it in and lock it in.

Why even mess with that? Just splice on half of a patch cable. On Sun, Oct 16, 2016 at 9:16 PM, TJ Trout wrote: > 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? >
