Proven mechanical splice technology ensures precise fiber alignment. A factory pre-cleaved, factory-polished ferrule couples to the fiber being terminated with precise mechanical alignment. A proprietary index-matching gel ensures a low loss termination to a single-mode fiber cable. There are no expensive tools, no messy epoxy needed.
A factory-installed wedge clip holds the clamping device open while the fiber is inserted. This clip also enables the use of a Visible Fault Identifier (VFI) to provide a "pass/fail" signal once physical contact is achieved. The connector is compatible with 250-µm and 900-µm optical fibers, as well as 900-µm cable. A 900-µm boot is provided with each connector.
This connector is also available in ST and LC versions and for both 50- and 62.5-micron multimode fiber, as well as for OM3 laser-optimized multimode fiber. Connectors for each fiber type are color coded to industry standard requirements to help with identification during and after installation.
