Overview
The Lightera Splice-On Connector (SOC) provides a field-installable termination solution designed to improve installation efficiency and maintain consistent optical performance. By utilizing a fusion splice-on design, this system eliminates the requirement for epoxy application and manual field polishing, significantly reducing the time and skill needed for successful terminations.
These connectors are specifically engineered for use in Fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) network environments. The 900um configuration is well-suited for tight-buffered fiber applications where space and precision are critical. This kit includes a 10-pack of connectors, providing a convenient bundle for field technicians performing multiple site deployments.
Key Features
-
Fusion Splice-On Design
Uses fusion splicing technology for a permanent connection that is more stable than mechanical splices. -
Epoxy-Free Termination
Eliminates the need for messy adhesives and long cure times, speeding up the installation process. -
No Field Polishing
Factory-pre-polished ferrule ensures consistent end-face geometry and reduces technician errors. -
LC/APC Interface
Features an Angled Physical Contact (APC) polish to minimize back-reflection in high-performance networks. -
900um Compatibility
Optimized for use with standard 900um tight-buffered fiber cables. -
FTTx Ready
Designed for the rigorous requirements of fiber-to-the-home and fiber-to-the-premises deployments.
Applications
- FTTx (Fiber-to-the-x) network installations
- Field repair and restoration of fiber links
- Central office and headend terminations
- Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) drop terminations

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these connectors reusable?
No, these are permanent splice-on connectors intended for single-use field installations.
Do I need a special tool to terminate these?
Yes, an appropriate fusion splicer and the manufacturer-recommended termination tools are required to install splice-on connectors.
Is this connector compatible with multimode fiber?
No, this specific part number is designed for singlemode applications.
Does this kit include protection sleeves?
Please consult the installation documentation for your specific fusion splicer requirements regarding accessory needs.
What is the primary benefit of the APC polish?
The APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish reduces back-reflection, which is critical for sensitive video and high-speed data transmission in FTTx networks.
