“Turn Up The Heat” * Smart Curing Ovens 2023

* share this Tech Note ...

G5 SMART CURING OVEN (MT/SC/LC) with programmed Epoxy Menu Process Controls. Works well as a ramp/soak oven or a simple, stable temps range curing oven. The G5 has a programmable timer/buzzer for accurate control of connector curing.

The Fiber (strand) is glued to the connector assembly with heat-cured epoxy, providing a reliable connection with desired losses of less than 0.5 dB per mated pair. This process can be time-consuming because YOU need to set or “cure the assembly.” A suitable Curing Oven is essential for consistency with your epoxy connect process. Epoxy removal from the connector assembly is the task at hand.
