Typical Applications Fiber optic polishing is a critical manufacturing step for passive components including patch cords and connectors. The process shapes the fiber end-face to specified geometry with ultra-smooth surface finish, directly impacting insertion loss and return loss performance. The Z-235 supports multi-stage polishing sequences progressing through coarser to finer abrasives:
De-coating: Removal of excess adhesive from ferrule end
Roughing: Establishment of basic end-face contour
Finishing: Elimination of scratches from prior stages
Final Polish: Achievement of scratch-free, optical-grade surface This system enables preparation of multiple connector finish types. PC and UPC finishes typically achieve back reflection below -55dB. APC finishes utilize an 8-degree angle to direct reflections into cladding, achieving return loss typically ≥ -65dB. Insertion loss performance targets <0.3dB under optimal conditions. Critical polishing parameters controlled by this system include radius of curvature (typically 10–25mm), apex offset via pressure distribution, and fiber undercut/protrusion geometry. These parameters directly influence final connector optical performance.
Compatibility & Integration The Diamond Z-235 functions as a standalone manual polishing platform suitable for laboratory connector preparation workflows. It accommodates standard fiber connector ferrule geometries used in telecommunications and datacom applications.
