SMP’s Xpress Fiber Connectors are pre-polished, field installable connectors that eliminate

the need for messy epoxies and expensive tools. Xpress Connectors have a pre-stubbed factory polished ferrule that joins to the fiber using a precise mechanical alignment and a special low loss index matching gel. The Xpress Connectors come with a specially designed clip that holds the clamping devices open for the fiber to be inserted. Once the fiber is inserted, squeeze the clip to release the blades, remove clip and discard.

Xpress Connectors install in just minutes. Strip the buffer, cleave to length and insert into the connector. Then release the clip, slide up the strain relief boot and assemble the connector body—done! No epoxy, no special tools, and no polishing required.
