Search Tips...

Keyword Search
Our search engine uses any or all keywords typed in the text box to give you product search results.
For instance, typing in kvm will give you a broader set of results than kvm switch cables.

Note, however, that keywords in quotes are treated as a single phrase and will not be evaluated individually.

Booleans (AND, +, OR, NOT, -) are not supported.

Also, some keywords will not return results, and may automatically correct to a similar keyword.

Part Number Search Selection
Select this Search in the drop down box to search by part number instead of keywords.

Wild Card Search
The * character is only supported in a limited capacity. Using whole words is the best approach whenever possible.

"New Search" Radio Button
Search the entire section that you are currently in.

"Search Within Results" Radio Button
Enter keywords or a part number to limit your results within the previously searched results.


Other features

A list of all matching product categories or resources will appear in the upper left corner of the results page, when applicable, to help you further narrow your results, if you desire.

Use the "sort by" drop-down menu on the results page to sort by "most popular" and price (low to high or high to low)
in the store section.

  • Installation kit includes everything needed to install SC, ST, FC, and many other commercially available connectors.
  • Includes parts for approximately 100 connectors.

    This kit is a field installer’s dream. It’s affordable, compact, and complete! The kit includes everything you need to make high-quality fiber terminations using anaerobic adhesive. It includes the adhesives, polishing tool, crimp tool, strippers, and more.

    Use the Fiber Optic Installation Kit to install approximately 100 connectors. And you can use it with a wide variety of connectors such as 3M, Pine Valley Precision, and Methode.

    Econo Connectors are ST® style connectors with a zirconia ferrule, a metal housing, and a pre-radiused domed end-face for a physical-contact finish. The connector can be installed on breakout- or distribution-style fiber cable.

    To make a termination with the kit, just dip the end of the fiber optic cable into the primer. Then apply the adhesive to the connector using the syringe. The adhesive seizes in about 30 seconds.

    Handy refill kits are available. Or you can choose just to refill the individual parts you need. For details, see “Buying Tips.”
