Overview
The AFL FAST-SC-MM50L-6 is a field-installable, laser-optimized SC connector designed for 50µm multimode OM3/OM4 fiber optic networks. This connector features a pre-stubbed, factory-polished ferrule, which eliminates the need for field polishing or epoxy, enabling rapid termination in the field.
Constructed with an aqua-colored housing for easy identification of optimized multimode fiber, these connectors are engineered for high-precision mechanical alignment. They are intended for use in environments where quick, reliable fiber terminations are required without the complexity of traditional termination kits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can these connectors be reused?
Yes, the fiber can be reinserted into the connector up to three times if necessary during installation.
Does this connector require epoxy?
No, these are mechanical, field-installable connectors that do not require epoxy or polishing.
What fiber types are supported?
These are designed for 50µm multimode fiber, specifically optimized for OM3 and OM4 applications.
How do I verify the installation?
You can use a Visual Fault Locator (VFL) to perform a pass/fail test after installation.
What is the purpose of the wedge clip?
The wedge clip is a factory-installed component that helps hold the fiber in place during the termination process; it is removed once the termination is complete.
