3M™ Lapping Film 865X For Final Polishing of Fiber Optic Connectors Advanced technology helps deliver a better value

  • Consistent performance
  • Slurry free – less mess
  • Suitable for all polishing equipment
  • Highest quality end face More ProfitPerPolish Introducing 3M’s Newest, Longest Lasting Final Polish Film

3M™ Lapping Film final polish products give you a new dimension of consistency and control for polishing ceramic fiber optic connectors. These advanced polishing films are engineered to last longer, for higher yields, less rework and lower costs per part. 3M lapping films deliver consistent results, reducing the need for costly rework. And they easily produce optimal fiber height and outstanding visual quality, helping finished connectors meet Telecordia standards. These films contain proprietary high performance silica and resins coated on 3 mil films. 3M final polish products are part of a complete lineup of lapping films designed for fiber optic connector polishing. They provide precision alternatives to messy slurries that require time-intensive cleanup. When used together as an integrated system, these matched 3M technologies can deliver even greater process improvements, while helping to simplify sourcing and recordkeeping. The 3M Final Polish Products Family Choose the right combination of speed, control and durability to match the needs of your application. 3M™ Lapping Films Fiber Height for Number of Uses on 2.5mm and 1.25mm Ceramic Connectors -40 -30 -20 -10 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99 1010 Fiber Height (nm) 3M Film 865X – 2.5mm 3M Film 863X – 2.5mm Competitor 1 – 2.5mm Competitor 2 – 2.5mm 3M Film 865X – 1.25mm Competitor 1 – 1.25mm Uses Introducing– 3M™ Lapping Film 865X
