Crimping is faster than gluing, but is typically more expensive, and can result in slightly higher light losses than a glued connection. THIS GUIDE HAS BEEN PRODUCED TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE A PROPERLY CRIMPED TERMINAL OR SPLICE EVERY TIME. THE FOLLOWING PAGES ILLUSTRATE THE DOS AND DON'TS OF CRIMPING, AND HIGHLIGHT THE ADVANTAGES OF USING MATCHED CABLE, TERMINAL AND TOOLING FROM THE EXTENSIVE TE CONNECTIVITY PRODUCT RANGE. The following. crimp terminal to provide the best electrical conductivity. Crimp not only will provide the greatest surface area for electrical contact, but it also prevents oxygen or moisture from reaching the metal of t hanical strength and additional levels of fiber protection. The bare fiber end can be spliced, typically using fusion splicing, to the main fiber we wish to terminate. 2 to quickly navigate the page. †ST ® and LC ® are registered trademarks of Lucent Technologies, Inc. in this article, we will discuss the different types of.
