Clean, prepared fiber is then inserted into the connector, then left to cool. After cooling, the fiber is scribed and polished in the same process as used in the epoxy method. Cleave and crimp connectors do not require a polish procedure since these connectors already have a polished ferrule tip. The fiber connector is then crimped to hold the fiber in place. Each mounting method has advantages and disadvantages, varying from ease of installation to cost per connector to performance qualities.
