Overview
The Corning FuseLite® 2 Field-Installable SC/APC 900μm Single Mode Connectors are precision-engineered for field termination applications where fusion splicing is required. These connectors feature a factory-polished end face to ensure consistent optical performance, integrating splice protection directly within the connector body for a streamlined footprint that eliminates the need for bulky splice trays.
Designed for rapid deployment and network reliability, these connectors offer a significant advantage in installation speed and ease of use compared to standard field-installable alternatives. They are optimized for reflectance-sensitive environments and maintain operational stability across a broad temperature range of -40°F to 167°F (-40°C to +75°C).
