Overview
The Lightera Splice-On Connector (SOC) provides a streamlined solution for field termination of optical fibers. By utilizing a factory-pre-polished ferrule, this system eliminates the requirement for time-consuming field epoxy application and manual polishing, ensuring consistent performance and reduced installation labor.
Designed specifically for flexibility and speed, these connectors are well-suited for FTTx deployments and high-density network environments. Their design allows for a rapid assembly process that requires minimal technical training, making them an efficient choice for network contractors and field technicians maintaining OM3 multimode fiber installations.
Key Features
