Panduit FIELDKIT Fiber Termination Kit

Overview

The Panduit FIELDKIT is a specialized toolset designed for field termination of fiber optic connectors. It provides the necessary tools and consumables to prepare fiber optic cable and properly install field-installable connectors, ensuring reliable data transmission in network infrastructure deployments. This kit is critical for on-site fiber optic cable assembly where pre-terminated cables are not feasible or practical.

Compatibility

This kit is designed for use with Panduit field-installable fiber optic connectors, including but not limited to the LC, SC, and ST connector series. It is compatible with various fiber types, including single-mode (OS2) and multimode (OM3, OM4, OM5) fibers, provided the connector type matches the fiber specifications. It is intended for use with standard fiber optic cable constructions commonly found in enterprise and data center environments.

Installation Notes

Proper use of the tools within the FIELDKIT is essential for achieving optimal termination performance. Specific attention should be paid to the fiber cleaving process, ensuring a clean, perpendicular end-face for minimal insertion loss. The kit includes a precision fiber cleaver and stripper, along with a visual fault locator (VFL) for continuity testing and fault identification. Torque specifications for connector installation, if applicable to the specific connector type being used, should be followed to prevent damage to the fiber or connector.
