Overview
The AFL FAST-SC-SMAU-6 is a set of 6 field-installable SC connectors featuring an angle-flat polished (APC) ferrule. Designed for efficient termination in the field, these connectors are compatible with single-mode 9µm fiber optic cable and 900µm cordage. Their mechanical design eliminates the need for epoxy, polishing, or power-consuming curing ovens, facilitating rapid deployment in diverse network environments.
Engineered for consistent performance, these connectors utilize precision mechanical alignment to ensure reliable signal integrity. The connectors incorporate a green housing, standard for APC identification, and include a factory-installed wedge clip that simplifies the installation process. The fiber can be reinserted up to three times, supporting field flexibility and error correction during installation.
