LBTEK fiber optic polishing pads are often used together with fiber optic patch cords, polishing discs, and polishing paper. They feature both glossy and matte surfaces for securing fiber optic polishing paper. During use, place the glossy side of the polishing paper onto the glossy side of the pad. The mutual friction between the two effectively prevents the paper from slipping, making it easier to move the fiber optic connector on the paper to achieve a polishing effect.
