Volition
VF-45 Socket
and Patch Cords
IT'S AS EASY AS PLUGGING IN A RJ-45.
The Volition™ VF-45™ Socket and Patch Cords from 3M is the latest
duplex, fiber optic interconnect for affordable, high bandwidth, fiber-
to-the-desk networks. The VF-45 plug and socket work like an
8-pin modular jack, bringing the simplicity of the RJ-45 jack to
optical fiber applications.
VF-45 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 multimode fiber using the
Volition™ VF-45™ Termination Kit takes less than two minutes, two
fibers at a time!
The mating VF-45 plugs, factory-terminated onto patch cords, enables
interconnection from socket-to-socket or from socket-to-transceiver
devices. VF-45 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 fiber, providing for durability and tight bend radius
in desktop applications.
The VF-45 fiber optic interconnect conforms to a combination of TIA,
ISO, IEC and 3M specifications
chosen to meet even the toughest
customer expectations. The VF-45
interconnect is the heart of a full
system of Volition products that
provide affordable optical fiber
premises cabling solutions.
