Sumitomo Lynx-CustomFit ST PC MM 62.5 OM1 250 & 900um

Overview

The Sumitomo Lynx-CustomFit ST PC MM 62.5 OM1 is a high-performance, field-installable splice-on connector designed for professional fiber optic terminations. By utilizing a fusion-splicing process, this connector ensures permanent, high-integrity connections, effectively eliminating the potential for signal degradation common in mechanical connectors.

Engineered for versatility, the Lynx-CustomFit series is suitable for FTTx, outside-plant, and inside-plant deployments. This connector allows technicians to create custom-length assemblies on-site, mitigating the logistical challenges, excess slack, and cable management issues associated with pre-terminated patch cords.
