Plastic fiber assemblies that provide additional resistance to fiber damage or breakage in high flex environments. The PVC flex relief ensure a minimum bend radius at the fiber to ferrule transition.
- Typical flex life is greater than 10,000 cycles
- Provides additional resistance to fiber damage or breakage in high flex environments
- Stainless steel threaded ferrule and stainless steel mounting hardware
- PVC overmolded flex relief reduces stress at the fiber to ferrule transition
- Higher tensile pull resistnace than non-overmolded design to reduce accidental damage to the fibers during installation and maintenance
- Works with plastic fiber brackets: SMBFP6, SMBFP4, SMBFP4N, and SMPFP3
