Overview
The Corning FuseLite® 2 LC/APC 2mm single-mode field-installable connector provides a high-performance fusion splicing solution for optical network deployments. These connectors feature a factory-polished end face designed to ensure consistent optical performance and reliability in reflectance-sensitive applications.
Engineered for efficiency, the FuseLite 2 integrates splice protection directly within the connector body, eliminating the need for separate splice trays. The design prioritizes speed and ease of use for technicians, allowing for rapid field installation while maintaining structural integrity in a variety of environments.
Key Features
-
Integrated Splice Protection
Splice protection is built directly into the connector housing, reducing total assembly time and eliminating the requirement for extra splice trays. -
High Optical Precision
Features a factory-polished end face for consistent, high-quality signal transmission. -
Reliable Insertion Loss
Delivers a 0.3 dB maximum and 0.2 dB typical insertion loss to ensure network efficiency. -
Reflectance Optimized
Ideally suited for reflectance-sensitive fiber optic applications. -
Streamlined Installation
Design is more user-friendly and faster to install than traditional splice-on connector architectures. -
Wide Operating Range
Maintains performance stability across a broad temperature range from -40°F to 167°F (-40°C to +75°C). -
RoHS Compliant
Manufactured in accordance with RoHS 2011/65/EU standards to ensure the product is free of hazardous substances.
Applications
- Reflectance-sensitive fiber optic networks
- Field termination for single-mode fiber
- General fiber installation and maintenance
