Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Splice-On Connector?
An SOC is a fiber optic connector that uses a fusion splice to attach a factory-terminated fiber stub to the field cable, eliminating the need for field polishing.
Are these connectors reusable?
No, these are designed as permanent, single-use field terminations.
Do I need a fusion splicer to use these?
Yes, an appropriate fusion splicer is required to perform the connection.
Can I use these with single-mode fiber?
This specific part number is for Multimode OM3 fiber. Ensure you select the correct fiber type for your network requirements.
Does this kit include the fiber cable?
No, this kit includes 10 connectors only.
