- Patented high precision ceramic ferrule are 100% tested to meet insertion loss
- 100% guaranteed by Corning Cable Systems to meet the published insertion loss specification at time of installation
- Operating temperature ranges from -40° to +75° C to accommodate most indoor (or outdoor environments when used in an enclosure).
- Insertion loss of .2 dB and maximum insertion loss of .5 dB can be achieved only with the UniCam Pretium Tool Kit though compatible with standard UniCam tool kits
- Enhanced polishing cycle of the end face at the Corning factory ensures the surface quality of the connector has a very low reflected signal needed that is needed for high speed digital optic transmission systems
- No consumables needed
- Fast installation lowers labor costs
Corning UniCam Pretium single mode connectors are available with a ceramic ferrule in LC, SC, and ST compatible connector styles. The Connectors are no-epoxy, UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polished connectors that install quickly and easily in the field. The cost of installation is greatly reduced based on the quick 45-second installation time using the Pretium Tool Kit. The UniCam Pretium-Performance Single Mode Connectors are 100% guaranteed for meeting an installation specification of 0.2 dB typical and 0.5 dB maximum insertion only when utilizing the Pretium UniCam tool kit. They also meet TIA/EIA-568 B.3 specifications for insertion loss and return loss at temperatures of -40° to +75° C, which allows the connectors to be used outdoors when enclosed in environmentally protected hardware.
