Overview
The Lightera Splice-On Connector (SOC) system provides a streamlined, reliable solution for field terminations. By utilizing fusion splicing technology, these connectors eliminate the requirement for field-applied epoxy or mechanical polishing, which significantly reduces total installation time while ensuring consistent optical performance.
These SC/APC singlemode connectors are designed for maximum flexibility and ease of use in fiber-to-the-x (FTTx) deployments. The connectors are compatible with standard fusion splicing equipment and are suitable for use in demanding field environments where time and installation quality are critical factors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these connectors compatible with all fusion splicers?
They are designed to be compatible with standard fusion splicing systems; however, please ensure you have the appropriate holder for SC SOC connectors.
Do these require any special cleaning?
As with all fiber components, it is recommended to clean the connector end face according to standard industry practices before mating.
Can these be used on multimode fiber?
No, these specific connectors are designed for singlemode fiber applications.
Do I need an oven for these connectors?
No, because these are splice-on connectors, they do not require a heat-cure oven.
Is the fiber jacket size fixed?
This model is designed for 2mm/3mm cabling environments.
