Common Ends

The common end is used to bind all the fibre tails together in a single connection, which can then be plugged into a standard sized fitting on a light source.

Available in various sizes, common ends are different for glass and polymer fibre, with those for glass being larger.

Adaptors are also available to allow multiple small common ends to be plugged together into one light source.

Common End Adaptors

The common end adaptor allows smaller common ends to be located in a standard sized fitting. Smaller common ends are avialable in either 12mm or 14mm diameters

A maximum of 3 mini common ends can be fitted into one adaptor.

Mini common ends are useful in items such as museum display cases where only a small hole can be cut to allow the fibre harness from a light wand to exit the case.
