Overview
The AFL FAST Connector is a field-installable, multimode LC connector designed to eliminate the need for manual polishing during fiber termination. Utilizing proven mechanical splice technology, this connector features a factory-polished ferrule and a pre-cleaved fiber stub, ensuring precision alignment and consistent, low-loss performance in the field.
Engineered for versatility, the connector is compatible with 900µm buffered fiber and utilizes proprietary index-matching gel to facilitate rapid, high-quality terminations. It is ideal for premise LAN environments, direct equipment termination, and various enterprise network applications where efficient, tool-minimized installation is required.
