VolitionTM VF-45TM Singlemode Socket and Patch Cords It`s as easy as plugging in an RJ45 The Volition™ VF-45™ Singlemode Socket and Patch Cords from 3M are the latest duplex, fibre optic interconnect products for affordable, high bandwidth, fibre-to-the-desk networks. The VF-45 plug and socket work like an 8-pin modular jack, bringing the simplicity of the RJ45 jack to optical fibre applications. VF-45 singlemode sockets can be field terminated in closet patch panels and in work area outlets for premises backbone and horizontal cabling applications. Field termination on duplex singlemode fibre using the Volition VF-45 Termination Kit takes less than two minutes, two fibres at a time! The mating VF-45 plugs, factory-terminated onto singlemode patch cords, enable interconnection from socket-to-socket or from socketto-transceiver devices. VF-45 singlemode patch cords are provided in a variety of lengths and are also available in hybrid ST or SC configurations. All VF-45 patch cords are constructed with the innovative 3M “GGP” high-strength coated optical fibre, providing durability and tight bend radius in desktop applications. The VF-45 singlemode fibre optic interconnect conforms to 3M specifications chosen to meet even the toughest customer expectations. The VF-45 interconnect is the heart of a full system of affordable optical fibre Volition Network Solutions.
