Overview
The Sumitomo Lynx CustomFit 2 Splice-On Connector is a high-performance fiber optic connector engineered for precise, on-site terminations. Designed to facilitate permanent, field-installed connections for FTTx, outside-plant, and inside-plant environments, this connector eliminates the logistical delays, excess cable slack, and potential risks associated with preterminated assemblies.
This connector features an advanced design suitable for high-density applications and provides consistent, reliable signal integrity. By allowing for exact cable lengths during installation, it minimizes the need for cable slack management while maintaining compatibility with a wide range of industry-standard splicing equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these connectors compatible with non-Sumitomo fusion splicers?
Yes, the Lynx CustomFit 2 connectors are designed to be cross-compatible with most major brands of fusion splicers.
Can I use these for singlemode fiber?
This specific part number is designed for multimode (OM3/4/5) fiber applications.
Are there minimum order requirements?
Yes, these connectors must be ordered in multiples of ten.
Does this kit include the fiber cable?
No, this is a splice-on connector for use with compatible 250um or 900um fiber cable.
What is the benefit of using splice-on connectors over preterminated cables?
Splice-on connectors allow for exact on-site lengths, which eliminates excess cable slack and the logistical risks associated with ordering pre-measured factory cables.
