VF-45 Socket Termination KitGet your hands on a Volition™ VF-45™ Socket Termination Kit from

3M and you will have everything you need to quickly and easily install

Volition VF-45 sockets onto duplex fiber optic cable. Cable and fiber

strippers, polishing and socket assembly fixtures, and inspection viewer –

all fit in a micro pouch that can be clipped onto a tech’s belt. The

termination kit works in concert with the “snap together” design of the

socket to eliminate most of the steps and labor associated with traditional

fiber optic terminations. With the VF-45 socket termination kit, you can

complete fiber installations faster and easier; duplex fiber terminations can

be performed in less than two minutes.

Maintenance Cleaning KitThe Volition™ Maintenance Cleaning Kit from 3M keeps VF-45 fiber

interconnects located within wall boxes, patch panels or electronic

equipment, clean and operating at a “just installed” optical performance

level. The system consists of a spray bottle of Volition™ HFE-Based

Cleaning Fluid designed for cleaning VF-45 sockets and plugs. HFE-based

cleaning fluid is non-flammable and non-conductive.

The maintenance cleaning kit is

a convenient, effective and quick

way to clean fiber end faces, without

disassembly from face plates or panels.
