Overview
The Lightera Splice-On Connector (SOC) system provides a streamlined solution for field termination of singlemode fiber. By integrating the splicing process directly into the connector assembly, these units eliminate the time-consuming requirements for field polishing and the use of messy adhesives or epoxy.
Designed for flexibility and ease of use, the SC/UPC connectors are engineered to minimize the need for specialized technical skill or extensive training. These connectors are particularly well-suited for FTTx network deployments, where consistent performance and rapid installation are critical for maintaining tight project schedules.
Key Features
-
Splice-On Technology
Integrates the mechanical splice directly into the connector body, reducing overall installation time. -
No Polishing Required
Pre-polished ferrules eliminate the need for field polishing, ensuring a consistent end-face geometry. -
No Epoxy Necessary
Uses a fusion-based termination method that removes the need for adhesives and cure times. -
Singlemode Compatibility
Optimized for use with singlemode fiber optic cabling infrastructures. -
SC/UPC Interface
Features a standard SC connector housing with a UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish. -
900um Buffer Support
Specifically designed for termination of 900um buffered fiber cables. -
Consistent Results
Provides repeatable, reliable termination quality across multiple field connections. -
FTTx Optimized
Compact and robust design makes these connectors suitable for demanding fiber-to-the-x applications.
Applications
- FTTx (Fiber to the X) deployments
- Field repair of damaged fiber terminations
- Central office and headend installations
- Premise fiber network installs

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an SOC connector?
An SOC (Splice-On Connector) is a field-installable connector that uses a fusion splice rather than a mechanical crimp or epoxy/polish method to terminate the fiber.
Do I need an oven for these connectors?
No, these connectors do not require epoxy or ovens, as they utilize a splice-on termination process.
Are these compatible with multimode fiber?
No, these specific part numbers are designed for singlemode fiber applications.
Do I need a special tool to terminate these?
Yes, an appropriate fusion splicer capable of handling splice-on connectors is required for installation.
Does this set include more than one connector?
Yes, this package contains 10 individual SC/UPC splice-on connectors.
