The fiber optic connectors are brilliant in design and implementation, enabling fast, full-proof and easy termination of a fiber.  In fact, terminations can typically be made in less than five (5) seconds, with no termination tools required – a performance still unmatched by any other product in the marketplace today.

Facilitate Fast, Easy Termination of Fibers

The simple, yet sophisticated, design of the new FiberExpress Brilliance Connector enables contractors to terminate a tight buffered fiber in just three simple steps:

• Insert the fiber into the connector
• Using the index finger, slide the connector's switch-like activator toward the fiber to be terminated to bring about the splice/crimp
• Slide the boot on the connector body – and it's done!

This fiber installation procedure is accomplished without using any specific or proprietary installation tools.  The built-in activator performs the fiber splicing and crimping action within the connector, thus reducing the number of steps involved by 50% (as compared with most field-installable connectors).

Brilliance Field-Installable Connectors can be used for loose tube fiber installations, with the addition of a break-out kit, so installers can achieve the same reliability and improved fiber yields as with tight buffered terminations.  Brilliance Connectors are also built to withstand a wider range of temperatures (-40 degrees to +75 degrees C) than traditional fiber connectors.

Belden's FiberExpress Solutions Meet Growing Market Demand

Belden continues to expand its FiberExpress solutions to meet the growing demand for reliable, high-performance optical networking products.  Belden's optical fiber solutions include a full range of cables, connectivity hardware, patch cords, cable assemblies, connectors and work area outlets – all of which comprise Belden's Total Enterprise Networks™ (TENs) end-to-end fiber/copper solutions approach.

Belden's new FiberExpress Brilliance Connectors fit perfectly into the integrated TENs paradigm. The connector can be used as a backbone, horizontal, or fiber-to-the-desk (FTTD) component in any commercial building, government agency or Data Center. It is ideal for use in the field connectorization of high-speed optical fiber networks such as 10G Ethernet, as well as the more challenging 40G/100G networks of the future.  Its use with Belden's FiberExpress Ultra Patch Panel – an ultra-high density, flexible and easy-to-install patch panel system – guarantees optimal performance and reliability, along with labor savings and ease of use.

Belden FiberExpress Brilliance Field-Installable Connectors and Kits will be highlighted at the 2010 BICSI Fall Conference & Exhibition, September 12-15, 2010.
