Fiber Optic Termination and Inspection Tools, Kits, and Accessories

The right fiber optic tool for the job. Industry-standard and Glenair signature installation and maintenance tooling, workstations, and kits for factory and field fiber optic termination and troubleshooting.

Our fiber optic termination kits, inspection tools, and cleaning supplies allow both lab and field technicians to complete reliable assembly of fiber optic systems. Our termination kits, for example, are equipped with all of the necessary tools — pin and socket polishing tools, jacket strippers, shears, scribes — literally every device required for ongoing termination and test of fiber optic systems. The same holds true for our test probe, inspection and cleaning tools.

Fiber Optic Cable Preparation and Termination — The Right Fiber Optic Tool for the Job

Fiber optic connectors are designed to be connected and disconnected many times without affecting the optical performance of the fiber circuit. Optimal performance can be achieved by following the correct process for termination of the fiber circuit—a task which requires the use of a wide range of specialized tooling. Glenair's extensive experience in building fiber optic interconnect cables has enabled us to select the right tools for each step in the termination and assembly process. Our Fiber Optic Termination and Test Probe Kits allow field technicians the convenience of completing final termination of precision termini on location for easy and efficient cable routing and installation. Each kit contains pin and socket polishing tools, jacket strippers, shears, scribes — literally all the tools and supplies required for ongoing termination and test of fiber optic systems. Polishing tools are also sold separately for factory use or as replacement parts in field termination kits.

Glenair Dry Action Cleaning Tools are easy-to-handle fiber optic terminus cleaning devices, highly effective at removing oil and dust contamination from pin and socket termini — either inside or outside connector shells. Traditional wet-swab cleaning methods add drying time and can even introduce new contaminants to the polished terminus endface. The Dry Action Cleaning Tool's novel dry cleaning strand gently sweeps and lifts away dust and residue from the terminus end-face without the problems associated with wet swab methods. The tool features a convenient single-unit configuration and an extendable tip for easy access to installed fiber optic termini — saving time and avoiding potential additional contamination.
