    Lapping Film

    One of the most important decisions a cable assembly production, or process manager will make, is which lapping film to use. Without a consistent lapping film, production costs cannot be controlled. Instead of quickly and efficiently fulfilling work orders, costly reworks will eat up both time and resources. Lapping film that only lasts a few cycles before it needs to be thrown away can also lead to a much higher per termination cost than a film that lasts up to 10, 20 or 30 cycles.

    Achieving consistent results that meet the demanding technical specifications for single mode systems requires the optimization of many factors throughout the termination and testing process.

    Fiber Optic Center can supply detailed polishing instructions for most commercially available fiber optic polishing machines and offers lapping film in the following areas: Diamond Lapping Film, Final Lapping Film, Aluminum Oxide Lapping Film, Silicon Carbide Lapping Film, Abrasive, Coated Flock Pile Film, Cleaning Film (Non-abrasive Flock Pile Film), Slurries and all ÅngströmLap Films.

    Special Note on PSA - Pressure Sensitive Adhesive: Pressure Sensitive Adhesive is only recommended when it is completely necessary. Once the film is stuck to the polish surface, it cannot be removed and reused. The adhesive also creates a potential and likely problem of debris adhering to the film that cannot be removed. Any debris that comes in contact with the fiber may cause a scratch. PSA will also increase the cost of the lapping film. The films shown here are typical stock items. However, if you do not find the right size/material configuration, including center holes or PSA, to fit your application, we may already have it or we can have it manufactured for you. Please contact Fiber Optic Center with any request.
