specifications
LC and SC form factor Fusion-Splice Connectors shall be TIA/EIA-604 FOCIS-3
(for SC) and FOCIS-10 compatible (for LC), and include a pre-polished fiber which
eliminates the need for field polishing and adhesives. The connectors shall be
composed of a ferrule assembly with integral fiber, a front housing, and a rear
assembly, plus additional components as necessary by connector type (including
angled physical contact polish). The connectors shall exceed TIA/EIA-568-D.3
performance requirements for IL and RL, and have a functional temperature range
from -40°C to 75°C. These splice-on connectors shall be compatible with Sumitomo
brand splice units.
applications
Single Fiber Splice-On Connectors enable rapid deployment of high performance field terminations for today’s Enterprise
and Data Center applications. Field termination allows for deployment of custom fiber links without added time and planning
typically required for pre-terminated assemblies, while using the real-time splice loss calculations of typical fusion splice
machines to enable confidence in component performance. Splice-on connectors can be used for initial installation of fiber
links, MAC work, or repairs to existing links to minimize downtime. Fusion splice connectors also allow for higher
performance links through lower insertion loss and higher return loss characteristics. Splice-on connectors require less
space for management like splice sleeves and trays, as well as reducing the amount of fiber needing management typical
of pigtail splicing.
