Overview
The AFL FUSEConnect FUSE2-LC9M50L-6 is a set of six next-generation, field-installable multimode LC/PC fiber optic connectors. Designed for 50µm laser-optimized fiber (OM3/OM4), these connectors provide a high-performance, fusion-spliced connection that eliminates the need for field adhesives or mechanical crimping.
Engineered for versatility, these connectors are suitable for a wide range of environments, including data centers, central offices, FTTx, MDU FTTP cabling, and cable TV backbone networks. The connectors feature factory pre-polished ferrules for consistent optical performance and ease of use in the field.
Key Features
-
Fusion Splicing
Uses fusion technology for direct fiber termination, ensuring low signal loss and mechanical stability. -
Pre-Polished Ferrules
Factory-polished end-faces remove the need for field polishing, significantly speeding up installation time. -
Laser Optimized
Supports OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber for high-bandwidth 10Gig applications. -
Easy Assembly
Designed with a 4-component system for intuitive, rapid field installation. -
High Return Loss
Features a return loss of ≤-35dB to minimize back-reflections in sensitive networks. -
Low Insertion Loss
Average insertion loss of 0.1dB ensures effective signal transmission.
Applications
- Data center installations
- RF-overlay FTTP networks
- Cable TV backbone networks
- Outside plant and FTTx
- FTTD (Fiber to the Desk)
- MDU FTTP cabling
- Network repairs and restoration
