Know before you buy
Yes, UniCam connectors require the specific Corning UniCam installation tool kit to perform the mechanical termination. This tool ensures the fiber is properly cleaved and secured without the need for epoxy or polishing.
No, this specific model is designed exclusively for 50 µm multimode fiber, specifically OM3 and OM4 standards. Using it with other fiber types will result in poor signal performance or an inability to properly terminate the connection.
The factory-polished end face ensures that the optical surface meets high-performance standards before it even reaches your job site. This eliminates the time-consuming and error-prone process of manual polishing in the field, resulting in a consistent 0.1 dB typical insertion loss.
Yes, the connector is built for durability and features a broad operating temperature range of -40 °C to 75 °C. This makes it a reliable choice for demanding environments where temperature fluctuations are a concern.
This guarantee means that when the connector is installed correctly using the recommended Corning tools, it is designed to work perfectly on the first attempt. It helps minimize waste and reduces the time spent troubleshooting failed connections during installation.
