The polishing of fiber optic connectors calls for both a hard flat surface and a cushioned pad. The 9” x 13” or 6” x 9” polish plate is available in safety glass and mounted on four rubber feet for support. When polishing PC style pre-radius connectors, use the soft polish pad on the glass plate. Placing the lapping film over the pad assures the removal of epoxy and proper polish of fiber without destroying the pre-radius of the ferrule.
