Overview
The Cheetah Splice-On Connector (SOC) is a factory-terminated, pre-cleaved pigtail designed for rapid installation in fiber optic networks. By utilizing a fusion splicing process, these connectors provide a high-performance alternative to mechanical connectors, ensuring reliable signal integrity and low return loss for critical network connections.
These connectors are designed for 900μm fiber applications and include a 27mm splice protection sleeve. The integrated strain relief boot and splice protection sleeve eliminate the need for traditional splice trays or excess cabinet space, making them ideal for high-density environments where space is at a premium.

Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment is required to install these connectors?
You must use a fusion splicer that supports removable fiber holders. Precision holders are required to align the connector correctly during the splicing process.
Are these connectors pre-polished?
Yes, they are factory-terminated and pre-polished to ensure high-quality optical performance upon installation.
Does this connector require a splice tray?
No, the inclusion of a custom strain relief boot and integrated splice sleeve removes the need for splice trays or chips.
Can I use these with any fusion splicer?
They are compatible with most industry-leading fusion splicers, including models from , AFL, Sumitomo, and OFS, provided you have the appropriate fiber holder.
What is the primary benefit of the Cheetah SOC?
The primary benefit is the reduction in field preparation time and space, as it combines the speed of a pre-terminated pigtail with the performance of a fusion-spliced connection.
