Handy type optical connector polishing machine POP-311
Handy polishing machine
Perfect for on-site! Compact handy optical connector polishing machine!

We can perform on-site installation work for optical connectors in detached houses and broadband-enabled apartments as part of FTTH installations. We can also perform installation work for excess fiber optic cable management and connector installation in intelligent buildings, as well as repair and repolishing of damaged end faces of existing optical fiber connectors.
With the separately sold MT ferrule attachment, it can also be used as the world's first MT handheld polishing machine.
