GEC NEWS WIRESiemon launched its new LightBow fibre termination system in the Middle East that continues to improve fibre termination speed, performance and reliability whilst reducing costs. Part of Siemon’s LightHouse advanced fibre optic cabling solutions, the new system features an exclusive patent-pending termination tool and pre-polished mechanical splice connectors that together reduce termination time, prevent fibre end face contamination and air gaps, and enable easy verification of termination quality.
Ergonomically optimised for use in handheld or table-top orientation, the new LightBow termination tool significantly reduces termination time by combining both splice activation and crimping in a single, optimised step and providing universal LC and SC connector compatibility with no time-consuming changeover. It also features integrated LC and SC strip templates moulded right into the tool to ensure proper strip length of the fibre.
“Fast deployment and superior reliability are of the utmost importance in today’s fibre networks, and fibre field terminations remain popular due to their ability to meet a variety of installation scenarios,” says Prem Rodrigues, sales and marketing director for the Middle East, India and SAARC for Siemon. “Whilst we have long offered a fast, high performance fibre termination system, our new LightBow system is a direct result of listening to the voice of the customer. Not only does the connectors’ built-in verification window and ability to be re-terminated significantly enhance connector reliability, but the entire system is much less expensive with a low-cost, lightweight tool.”
