Frequently Asked Questions
Are these connectors reusable?
No, these are field-installable splice-on connectors designed for a permanent fusion splice connection.
Do I need a special fusion splicer?
These connectors are compatible with most industry-standard fusion splicers capable of holding splice-on connector ferrules.
Are these LC/UPC or LC/APC connectors?
These are LC/UPC connectors, indicated by the blue housing and the UPC polish designation.
Can they be used with 900um cable?
This specific part number is designed for 2mm cable. Refer to the manufacturer datasheet for 900um compatibility models.
Does it require epoxy or polishing?
No, the connectors are factory-polished and do not require adhesive or field polishing; they are joined via fusion splicing.
