Complete Connector Kit
Factory Termination Options
ADC’s ProAx fiber connector family includes
preterminated Quad Fiber (F4) connectors. The
series is designed for flexible ordering depending
on the connector and length needs. The cable
assemblies feature ADC’s superior tactical fiber
cable with reduced bend radius singlemode fiber
components and a stainless steel strength member.
ADC also offers ProAx fiber connectors for
customers that are interested in performing their
own factory terminations. The factory termination
connectors are for direct connectorization of the
BX5 connectors without Avalanche.
Field Termination Option
ProAx ® fiber connectors are available as a true
broadcast complete field termination solution,
featuring the innovative Avalanche
™ fiber
splicing technology. The Avalanche optical insert
utilizes V-groove technology securing, sealing,
and protecting the spliced fiber while providing
exceptional optical performance.
Avalanche also features Lights-Out technology. By
applying a light source to the factory pre-polished
end of the BX5 connector, the installer is ensured
that the fiber ends are properly aligned for
optimal signal transfer.
Field fiber termination of the fiber components
of ProAx connectors is designed for moderately
trained installers, and uses standard industry
tooling. All copper components are crimped
and secured using standard tooling similar to
a triax connector.
