Lightera Splice-On Connector LC/APC Singlemode 2mm 10 Pack

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

• Splice-On Termination
  Direct fusion splicing onto the fiber ends eliminates the need for field-applied adhesives or polishing.
• Singlemode Compatibility
  Designed specifically for high-performance singlemode fiber networks.
• LC/APC Connector Type
  Features Angled Physical Contact (APC) polish to minimize back-reflection in sensitive optical circuits.
• 2mm Cable Support
  Compatible with standard 2mm fiber cable diameters for robust installation.
• Time-Saving Installation
  Streamlined assembly process reduces the labor time required compared to traditional connectorization.
• Consistent Quality
  Factory-like termination quality is maintained through fusion splicing, improving long-term signal integrity.
• 10-Pack Packaging
  Convenient quantity for project-based procurement and efficient inventory management.

Applications

• FTTx network deployments
• Field repair and restoration of fiber links
• Network infrastructure upgrades
• Central office and data center interconnects
