Integrated installation tool comprising:

• Easy scribe and break of fibers to prepare for polishing

• Fiber stub catcher

• Slip resistant polishing base

• Tool pouch storage for all hand tools

• Adhesive backed lapping film for polishing

• Versatile dual illumination microscope with adapters for inspection of:

1) Polishing puck end-face

2) Patch cord plug-fibers

3) Standard ferruled connectors

All fiber measurements made with hand tools (no precise measuring)

Easy fiber insertion and socket assembly

Audible click verifies socket assembly

Cleaning with cotton swab

Quick assembly of VF-45 socket

Angle polishing for low loss, low reflectance connections

Replaceable polishing pad

Replaceable scribe assembly

Replaceable polishing face

Caution: Wear safety glasses during all work operations.
