XLR8™ Fiber Termination Kit
Siemonʼs XLR8 mechanical splice termination kit incorporates an exclusive dual-process activation toolwhich dramatically reduces termination time per connector. This process is intended for use with 900μmtight buffered fiber cables.
Single Step Termination— XLR8 tool combines both splice activationand mechanical crimp into a single, optimized step
Robust Process — Single-step termination eliminates the need tohandle the connector between splice and crimp processes,maintaining integrity of the splice
Flexible Ergonomics — Tool optimized for use in handheld or table-top orientation
Reduced Risk of Polish Contamination — All termination stepscompleted with connector dust cap in place
Universal LC/SC Compatibility — Tool terminates both LC and SCconnectors with no time-consuming changeover required
Fiber Alignment Aid — Smooth alignment channel simplifies fiberinsertion and avoids damage to fiber end face
Validated — XLR8 tool has been validated for over 500,000 cycles
Precision Cleaver — Kit features a user-friendly fiber cleaverdesigned to provide clean, precise and high performance cleaves on an array of fiber types

XLR8™ Pre-Polished Connectors
Combined with the patent-pending XLR8 activation tool, Siemonʼs new pre-polished XLR8 mechanicalsplice connectors can be deployed with unsurpassed termination speed and quality. Available in both LCand SC configurations, these connectors support both the multimode and singlemode versions ofSiemonʼs 10 Gb/s XGLO® and Gigabit LightSystem® solutions.
Fewer Termination Steps —XLR8 SC connectors ship factory-assembled, eliminating time-consumingfield assembly of inner and outer connector bodies
Enhanced Splice Integrity — XLR8 connector termination process combines splicing and crimping in asingle step, eliminating connector handling that can impact splice integrity
Robust Polish Protection —Entire connector termination process is completed with dust-cap in place,protecting the critical end face polish from contamination
High Quality Performance — Exceeds TIA standards for optical peformance and fiber retention strength

Siemon Innovation
Continues. . .
Siemon is proud to introduce its new XLR8mechanical splice connector and termina-tion system for fiber optic cabling. The XLR8 system incorporates an exclusive activation tool that combines con-nector splicing and crimping into a singlestep for unsurpassed termination speed andquality. The simplified XLR8 design cutstermination times in half compared to competing systems, enablingfaster and more efficient delivery of highperformance fiber links. The reduction ofsteps also limits excess operator handingof connections during the termination thatcan cause the fiber to move within the connector and negatively impact splice in-tegrity and link performance.
To further enhance connector performance, the entire XLR8 termination processis completed with the LC or SC connector dust-cap in place, protecting the criti-cal end face polish from contamination or damage. The pre-polished end faceremains untouched and clean from the factory until insertion into the adapter.
Ergonomically optimized for handheld or table-top orientation, the XLR8 tool isuniversal - capable of terminating either SC or LC interfaces with no time-con-suming tooling changeovers required. The tool is available in a complete kit thatcontains all accessories required for high performance terminations, including auser-friendly fiber cleaver designed to provide clean, precision cleaves on an arrayof fiber types.
