Fibre End Trims

Starscape domed acrylic end fittings give a very different look to a fibre optic display for use where achieving a starry sky effect is not your main aim. The dome can be viewed from all angles and installation is very easy. The fittings are supplied with two sizes of flexible inserts to accept both 0.75mm and 1.00mm fibres.

Tip!

Leave some slack in the fibre behind the fitting to allow removal for repainting.
