An experienced installer can place terminations on multifiber cables in approximately one minute per fiber, using the time required to cure the adhesive to prepare other connectors and reduce the time it takes for each connector.
It is important that you follow the termination procedures carefully, as they have been developed to generate the lowest losses and the most reliable terminations. Use only the specified adhesives, since fiber bonding to the splint is vital to achieving lower losses and long-term performance. And, like everything else, practice makes the expert!
Crimp / Polished
Instead of sticking the fiber in the connector, these connectors use a crimp bushing to hold the fiber. Most of those that were available in the past provided a marginal loss of performance, which is why they are no longer available. You can choose to change higher losses for faster termination speeds, but they are only a good option if you install a small amount and your customer agrees.

Pre-polished type (also called "cut and crimp")
Some manufacturers offer connectors that come with a small piece of fiber already inserted into the splint and a mechanical splice inside the connector, so you only have to cut the fiber and insert it as a splice, a process that can be done quickly. To join the connector, many connectors use a fusion splice instead of a mechanical splice.
