3M Green Aluminium Oxide Fibre Optic Lapping Film, 8.5 in x 215.9mm, 1 μm Grade

Use this lapping film from 3M to precisely polish fibre-optic connectors. It provides a smooth and consistent finish to significantly enhance the transmission of light and signal particles in a fibre-optic plug. The film is made of aluminium-oxide minerals, renowned for being strong and hard-wearing. As a result, it reduces the overall time it takes to flat-lap or super-finish a connector for enhanced workplace productivity. This versatile lapping film is also suitable for hard-disk drive lube-buffing and media-head finishing.

• Produces a superior quality surface finish for enhanced reliability

• Industrial communication networks

A fibre-optic cable is an advanced type of network cable that quickly transmits bandwidth and data via pulses of light through glass or plastic pipes. It consists of anything from a few to hundreds of optical fibers within one outer plastic sheath and performs much faster than traditional electrical cables.

3M™ Lapping Film Sheet 261X is the standard of 3M’s lapping films. The product is made from precisely graded aluminum oxide particles coated on a 3 mil polyester film. The product provides uniform finishes on various substrates and delivers consistent cut rate, finish and life.

• Tight particle distribution

Lapping film is used for fine polishing and sharpening of a number o fmaterials, and is often used for polishing optical fibre optic connectors.
