Tyco Electronics LightCrimp Plus fiber optic technology allows fast, accurate, and reliable field termination of LC, SC, and ST connectors. LightCrimp Plus termination kits are utilized by the US Army as their Fiber Optic Repair Kit (FORK). FORK contains everything to terminate a fiber-optic splice or connector in mere minutes—with no mess and no fuss.
LightCrimp Plus technology eliminates the need to epoxy or polish connectors during termination. LightCrimp Plus technology offers a simple strip, cleave, and crimp termination that makes it ideal for use in the field under the less-than-perfect conditions of tactical deployment. Equally important, it is easy to use, significantly reducing the training and skills required to achieve high-quality field repairs.
Soon, the kit will be even better when Tyco Electronics releases its new mechanical splice that uses the same tooling and procedures. It works with single-mode and multi-mode buffered and jacketed fiber. It adds speed and reduces size in field repairs.
