Designed with a 9µm SC\/UPC interface and 3mm boots, these connectors are engineered for high-precision termination in demanding field environments. They utilize factory pre-polished ferrules, eliminating the need for field polishing, adhesives, or crimping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese connectors are suitable for a wide range of applications including RF-overlay FTTP networks, cable TV backbones, outside plant (OSP), FTTx, MDU FTTP, and data center installations, repairs, or restoration. They are designed for compatibility with standard fusion splicers and fiber holder-based platforms, offering a streamlined assembly process with only four main components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFusion-Spliced Termination\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnsures permanent, low-loss connections by utilizing a fusion splicer rather than mechanical methods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFactory Pre-Polished Ferrules\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEliminates the time-consuming field polishing process for faster installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eField-Installable Design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFour-component design allows for simple and efficient assembly on-site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdhesive-Free Assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReduces installation steps and potential failure points caused by epoxy curing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndustry Compliance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFully meets ANSI\/TIA-568.3 standards for fiber connectivity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorks with Fujikura fusion splicers and various fiber holder-based splicing platforms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRF-overlay FTTP networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable TV backbone networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutside plant (OSP) and FTTx deployments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMDU FTTP cabling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCentral office and data center installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFiber network repairs and restoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAFL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFUSE2-SC3SMU-6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFiber Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Mode (9µm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnector Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSC\/UPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAverage Insertion Loss\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.15 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Insertion Loss\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.25 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReturn Loss\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e≤ -55 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eANSI\/TIA-568.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this connector require epoxy or polishing in the field?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, these are fusion-spliced connectors with factory pre-polished ferrules, eliminating the need for adhesives or manual polishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these connectors compatible with my existing fusion splicer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are designed for compatibility with Fujikura fusion splicers and most fiber holder-based fusion splicing platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the typical insertion loss for this connector?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe average insertion loss is 0.15 dB, with a maximum specification of 0.25 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the package contain?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe package includes six single-mode SC\/UPC fiber connectors with 3mm boots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat fiber type are these connectors for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese are designed for single-mode fiber (9µm).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AFL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50801794809954,"sku":"FUSE2-SC3SMU-6","price":147.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1026\/4509\/files\/151x409_pli-afl-fuse2-sc3smu-6_jpg.webp?v=1793335370","url":"https:\/\/www.fiberoptics4sale.com\/products\/afl-fuseconnect-fuse2-sc3smu-6-sm-sc-upc-3mm-blue-pack-of-6","provider":"Fosco Connect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
