Fiber Optic Contacts
Ceramic Tip Optical Contacts
ITT Cannon's new precision optical contacts offer
superior coupling performance and a simplified
termination process. Ceramic zirconia tips more
accurately center the fiber within the contact body.
A rugged thermoplastic alignment sleeve precisely
aligns the mating contacts. Solid state epoxy re-
tained within the contact eliminates any handling of
epoxy

Solid State Epoxy
Since the advent of fiber optics, fibers have
been terminated in optical contacts using mes-
sy two-part liquid expoxy. This process is cum-
bersome
prodution.
Optical contacts are now available with solid
state
epoxy.
