Overview
The AFL FUSEConnect FUSE2-LC2SMU-6 is a pack of six next-generation, splice-on single-mode LC/UPC fiber connectors designed for 2.0mm jacketed fiber. These field-installable connectors utilize fusion splicing technology, ensuring a permanent, low-loss connection that integrates directly into the fiber cable without the need for mechanical adhesives or field polishing.
These connectors are engineered for a variety of demanding environments, including FTTP networks, cable TV backbones, data centers, and MDU installations. Featuring a factory pre-polished ferrule, they provide consistent optical performance and ease of assembly for technicians in the field, reducing the time and complexity of network repairs and restoration.
