28 October 2003 Morganville, NJ Lightwave--Krell Technologies is introducing the enhanced SpecPro 4L fiber-optic polisher. SpecPro is designed to yield singlemode performance for research and development, medical applications, low volume cable assembly production and field environments.

Up to four components can be simultaneously polished, including industry standard connectors, multifiber ferrules, MIL-spec termini, optical bundles, endoscopes and bare fibers. It is also ideal for repairing and retro-polishing damaged connectors. SpecPro incorporates Krell's unique independent suspension feature for more uniform and consistent polishing at each connector position. Krell's SpecVision Video Inspection System can also interface with SpecPro for in-line viewing of fiber finishes. In addition to its compact and portable packaging, SpecPro features both AC and battery operation.
