Overview
The Corning FuseLite® 2 Field-Installable LC/APC Connector is a precision-engineered solution designed for rapid, reliable fusion splicing in single-mode fiber networks. This connector features an integrated splice protection mechanism within the connector body, eliminating the requirement for external splice trays and simplifying field deployments.
Engineered for high-performance optical connectivity, each connector is factory-polished to provide consistent results. These connectors are specifically designed for TAA compliance, making them suitable for government and institutional project requirements. They are intended for use in environments where reliability and reflectance management are critical, supporting stable performance across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C (-40°F to 167°F).
Key Features
-
Integrated Splice Protection
Features splice protection housed directly within the connector body, which reduces physical space requirements and removes the need for separate splice trays. -
Factory-Polished End Face
Utilizes a factory-polished connector end face, ensuring consistent, high-quality optical connections every time. -
Low Insertion Loss
Delivers an insertion loss of 0.3 dB maximum (0.2 dB typical), providing efficient signal transmission for demanding fiber networks. -
TAA Compliant
Fully meets Trade Agreements Act requirements, ensuring suitability for government-funded infrastructure and projects. -
Broad Temperature Range
Rated for operation between -40°C and +75°C, allowing for stable performance in diverse field environments. -
RoHS Compliant
Manufactured without hazardous substances, meeting the RoHS 2011/65/EU standard for environmentally safe electronics. -
User-Friendly Design
Optimized for quicker, easier installation compared to standard field-installable splice-on connectors, lowering total labor time.
Applications
- Single-mode fiber network installation
- Reflectance-sensitive optical applications
- Government and TAA-restricted projects
