AFL FUSEConnect LC PC Multimode 50µm 10Gig 900µm Connector (Pack of 6)

Overview

The AFL FUSEConnect field-installable connector series is engineered to provide high-performance fiber terminations without the requirement for field polishing, adhesives, or crimping. By utilizing a fusion splicer to terminate the connector, this system significantly reduces the risk of operator error and minimizes material waste typically associated with traditional mechanical connectors.

Designed for ease of installation, this next-generation connector features an improved design over previous models, ensuring consistent results in the field. These connectors are ideal for maintaining performance standards in environments where return loss is a critical concern, such as in analog optical networks. Each package includes six connectors, compatible with standard fusion splicing platforms.
