INDEX MATCHING GEL CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT

The 1120 Index Matching Cartridges contain enough matching compound 

which, under normal use, should last for over 500 fiber insertions.  Inconsistent 

couplings or high coupling losses or reflections may indicate the need to refill 

(112X-RMC) or replace (112X-IMC) the cartridge.  

In order to replace the index matching gel cartridge, hold the coupling module 

and unscrew its end cap (6).  Pull the empty cartridge (5) from the sleeve (4) 

and discard.  Insert a new cartridge by first removing and discarding the sealing 

tabs from the ends of the IMC replacement cartridge, then simply push the large 

end of cartridge into coupling module sleeve and screw on the end cap until it is 

finger tight.

INDEX MATCHING GEL CARTRIDGE (112X-RMC) REFILLING

If you have purchased the refillable version of the index matching gel cartridge, 

the 112X-RMC, you can replenish the gel in your index matching gel cartridge 

with the gel-filled syringe (112X-SYR) that is purchased separately or included 

as part of the 112X-RFK Refill Kit.   

To refill the RMC, remove it from the 1120 Coupling Module as described in the 

previous section.  Next, unscrew the RMC cap and then, after removing the 

syringe dust cap, attach the RMC to the syringe’s tip adapter.  Inject index 

matching gel into the RMC until gel starts to emerge from the opposite end of 

the cartridge indicating that the cartridge is full.  Remove the RMC from the 

syringe and replace its cap.  Clean any excess gel from the cartridge with a lint 

free wipe. The RMC is now ready to be loaded into the 1120 coupling module.  

Store the syringe in an appropriate cool, dust-free location to prevent leakage or 

contamination.
