3 ST, FC, SC Hot Melt Connectors for Indoor/Outdoor Applications Single-mode and Multimode 3M Hot Melt Connectors can be used in high temperature environments. 3M Hot Melt Connectors have a proven record of high performance and ease of use in local area networks around the world. These connectors are now qualified to TIA/EIA 568B standards for both indoor and outdoor use, including temperatures as high as 85C (185F). Drawing on 70 years of adhesive expertise and 40 years of experience in ceramic technology, 3M provides the most convenient, reliable and easy-to-install connectors on the market. Preloaded adhesive means no syringe and no epoxy mixing is needed, saving installation time. The PC zirconia ceramic ferrule provides superior optical contact and durability. The ability to reheat and reposition fiber within the connector means virtually all connections are successful, saving time and money. And one kit provides everything needed to terminate ST, FC, and SC connectors for both single-mode and multimode applications. Features Benefits Preloaded Hot Melt adhesive Easy to use, no epoxy to mix, fewer consumables Terminates in less than 2 minutes Saves time and labor Meets TIA/EIA 568B standards for indoor and outdoor applications Reliable performance Reheatable adhesive allows fiber repositioning High yield reduces waste of connectors and time Pre-radiused PC zirconia ceramic ferrule Assures optical contact and stability up to 85C (185F) Universal Kit contains consumables for up to 400 connectors* Eliminates confusion and lost time *Alcohol is not included.
