Overview
The Lightera Splice-On Connector (SOC) is a field-termination solution designed to provide flexible and high-quality fiber connections. By eliminating the need for epoxy and field polishing, this system significantly reduces installation time and minimizes the risk of connection failure due to manual polishing inconsistencies.
These connectors are engineered for use with 2mm singlemode fiber and are optimized for FTTx (Fiber-to-the-x) network deployments. The assembly process is straightforward, requiring minimal training while delivering consistent optical performance suitable for professional network environments.
Key Features
