What Are Corning (Siecor) Unicam Connectors? Fiber Optic Tutorial Series One
Summary
This article explores the process of terminating fiber optic connectors, contrasting traditional epoxy and polish methods with the innovative Corning Unicam connectors.Traditional Termination Process
Standard epoxy and polish fiber optic connectors require a meticulous 7-step process, often taking up to 30 minutes:1. Strip the optical fiber to reveal the 125um (or appropriate size) fiber cladding.
2. Clean the exposed fiber with isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes.
3. Insert the fiber into the connector’s center hole.
4. Inject epoxy into the connector body using a syringe.
5. Cure the epoxy at high temperatures (85C, 100C, or 120C) using a special oven.
6. Scribe the fiber protruding from the connector tip.
7. Polish the connector tip by hand or with a polishing machine (especially needed for single-mode fibers).
This complex process requires skill and time, making it a challenge for installers who lack extensive training or equipment.
Quick Termination with Unicam Connectors
For scenarios where time and resources are limited, quick termination fiber optic connectors, such as Corning Siecor Unicam, are ideal. These allow for faster, simpler installation:1. Strip the optical fiber to expose the 125um cladding.
2. Clean the fiber with isopropyl alcohol and lint-free wipes.
3. Cleave the fiber with a cleaver.
4. Insert the fiber into the Unicam connector until it stops.
5. Crimp the fiber onto the connector using a crimper tool.
An installer can complete a Unicam connector termination in just 2 minutes, saving up to 87% of the time compared to the traditional method.
