Overview
The AFL FUSEConnect FUSE2-SC9SMU-6 consists of a package of six factory-pre-polished, field-installable SC/UPC single-mode fiber connectors. These splice-on connectors are designed for 900µm buffered fiber, providing a fusion-spliced termination that eliminates the need for adhesives, crimping, or manual polishing in the field.
Engineered for high-performance optical networks, these connectors support applications in FTTP, cable TV backbones, data centers, and outside plant installations. The four-component design ensures efficient assembly, while factory-controlled polishing guarantees consistent optical performance suitable for professional network restoration and installation environments.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these connectors pre-polished?
Yes, FUSEConnect connectors feature factory pre-polished ferrules, requiring no additional polishing in the field.
Can I use these with any fusion splicer?
These are compatible with Fujikura fusion splicers and most other fiber holder-based fusion splicing platforms.
What is the primary benefit of this design?
The splice-on design provides a fusion-spliced connection that is more reliable than mechanical connectors and faster than traditional epoxy-and-polish field termination.
What fiber type are these for?
These are specific to 9µm single-mode fiber with 900µm buffer jackets.
How many connectors are included in the package?
This package includes 6 individual connectors.
