FASTCONNECT® MECHANICAL CONNECTORS

FASTConnect® Mechanical Connectors

FASTConnect® field-installable connectors are factory pre-polished connectors that completely eliminate the need for hand polishing in the field. Proven mechanical splice technology ensuring precision fiber alignment, a factory pre-cleaved fiber stub and a proprietary index-matching gel combine to offer an immediate low loss termination to either single-mode or multimode optical fibers.
 
FASTConnect® connectors are compatible with 250 µm and 900 µm optical fibers, as well as 900 µm, 2 mm and 3 mm cordage. All primary fiber types are supported, and each connector is color-coded per industry-standard requirements to aide in identification during and after installation. A factory-installed wedge clip (included with each connector) is removed and discarded upon completion of the termination. Incorporated into this device is an innovative, translucent wedge enabling the use of a common VFI to provide a “pass/fail” signal once physical contact is achieved.

Features:

  • Pre-stubbed, factory-polished ferrule
  • No epoxy required
  • Precision mechanical alignment ensures low loss
  • Fiber can be reseated
  • 3.0 mm, 2.0 mm and 900 µm boot provided with each connector on the SC and LC connectors only
  • VFI can be used to confirm fiber is installed properly
