Specification Sheet

Description V-Pin Connectors

OFS FiberWire V-Pin connectors are designed for use with

OFS’ V-system® crimp and cleave termination kits. Our V-Pin
style connectors take less than two mintues per end to terminate
because of the chemical and mechanical properties of OFS’
HCS® fiber cladding. Using an easy, crimp and cleave process,
termination is accomplished without messy epoxies, a curing
oven, or the need for time-consuming polishing. V-Pin connec-
tors are also fully compatible with Agilent’s Versatile Link V-Pin Connectors
Part #: BP04260-01, BP05226-01 Blue
