Sumitomo LYNX2-MPO 12 Fiber Singlemode Male Splice-On Connector

Overview

The Sumitomo LYNX2-MPO is the industry’s first field-installable MPO fusion splice-on connector. Designed for customized, on-site terminations, this connector provides high optical fiber density and addresses the connectivity demands for rapid repairs, upgrades, and restorations in data centers, enterprise networks, outside plant environments, and FTTx applications.

By utilizing fusion splice technology, the LYNX2-MPO ensures permanent, low-loss terminations. The field-installable design allows technicians to create exact cable lengths at the job site, effectively eliminating logistics delays associated with pre-terminated assemblies and reducing issues related to excess cable slack or incorrect lengths.
