LightCrimp Plus Connectors

"Fibre Optic Connections in Less Than a Minute"


LightCrimp Plus connectors use patented AMP crimping technology to make fibre optic termination a quick, clean and simple mechanical process. With LightCrimp Plus you can secure fibres without adhesives, ovens or ultraviolet curing processes used in conventional terminations. AMP LightCrimp Plus connectors have a pre-polished fibre in the ferrule and all you have to do is strip the cable, cleave the fibre and crimp the connector. As well as saving time, you get a consistent high quality end finish.

LightCrimp Plus meets the relevant TIA/EIA, IEC, CECC and EN specifications and operates in temperatures ranging from -10°C to +60°C. Based on using 62.5/125µm fibre, typical insertion loss is 0.3dB over the temperature range.
