Overview
The AFL FUSEConnect is a field-installable, fusion-spliced connector designed for high-performance singlemode optical networks. By utilizing a fusion splicer to terminate the connector in the field, this solution eliminates the need for adhesives, crimping, or index-matching gels. This process minimizes the risk of operator error and reduces expensive connector scrap, providing a consistent, high-quality termination.
Engineered for demanding analog optical networks, the FUSEConnect LC APC series ensures true APC return loss performance. This next-generation design features simplified installation procedures and is fully compatible with most standard fiber holder-based fusion splicing platforms, including those from Fujikura.
