SUHNER FIBEROPTIC
OPTOCLIP II
BARE FIBRE ADAPTER
Starting from the ferruleless and easy-to-
assemble standard connector OPTOCLIP II of
HUBER+SUHNER, new applications have been
developed. The new OPTOCLIP II REPEAT
connector (as suggested by its name) can be
assembled more than just once. A threaded
clamping device locks the fibre in place inside
the connector. If required, it can be opened
again, allowing the connector to be reassemb-
led. Apart from crimping, the assembly pro-
cedure is identical to the one applied for the
standard OCTOCLIP II, which allows the same
time-saving tool to be used. The OPTOCLIP II
REPEAT may be applied, for example, during
fibre adjustments in laser manufacturing or in
laboratory setups, that is, wherever an optical
connection is established briefly and only once
for checking purposes. Thus, the OPTOCLIP II
REPEAT can be reused over and over again.
In case of repeated matings – such as are com-
mon also in measurement applications – the
fibre end faces are subjected to heavy wear.
Instead of using a new connector, the OPTO-
CLIP II REPEAT can simply be reassembled.
