FuseConnect Fusion Spliced Field Installable Connectors FuseConnectFusion Spliced Field Installable Connectors AFLÂ’s FuseConnect fusion spliced, field installable connectors are uniquely designed and feature only four to five components. The factory pre-polished ferrule eliminates the need for polishing, adhesives, and crimping in the field, which minimizes the potential for operator error and expensive connector scrap. FuseConnect utilizes a fusion splicer to terminate the connector in the field, addressing return loss concerns present in analog optical networks. This advanced process yields true APC performance for SC/APC and LC/APC configurations, and is compliant to GR-326-CORE. FuseConnect is compatible with Fujikura fusion splicers and most other fiber holder-based fusion splicing platforms.
Features Field installable No adhesives, crimping or polishing True APC performance MM compliant to TIA/EIA568C.3 Compatible with most fusion splicers
