Overview
The Corning FuseLite® 2 Field-Installable LC/APC 900µm Single Mode Splice-On Connectors offer a high-performance, efficient solution for field-terminated fiber connections. Designed for single mode networks, these connectors feature a factory-polished end face that ensures consistent, reliable optical connectivity. The unique design integrates splice protection directly within the connector body, eliminating the need for bulky splice trays and streamlining the installation process.
These connectors are engineered for reflectance-sensitive applications, providing low insertion loss characteristics. They are compatible with a variety of fusion splicers, offering technicians a user-friendly and time-saving alternative to traditional splice-on methods in both data center and outside plant environments.
