Optical Connectivity 1 FUSEConnect ® Fusion-Spliced, Field-Installable Connectors AFL’s FUSEConnect fusion-spliced, field installable connectors are uniquely designed to eliminate the need for polishing, adhesives, crimping, and index matching gel in the field, which minimizes the potential for operator error and expensive connector scrap. The FUSEConnect family utilizes a fusion splicer to terminate the connector in the field and address return loss concerns present in analog optical networks. This advanced process yields true APC performance for APC configurations. AFL introduces the next generation of SC and LC splice-on connectors to this product family featuring a simplified and improved design for ease of installation and an updated packaging look. The family will continue to support applications that require ST connectors with the older connector design. All connector types are compatible with Fujikura field fusion splicers and most other fiber holder-based fusion splicing platforms. Features • Field installable • No adhesives, crimping or polishing • Intermateable with other industry standard SC and LC connectors • True APC return loss performance • Compatible with Fujikura fusion splicers and other common fusion splicers • Sold in packs of 6 connectors • Meets ANSI/TIA-568.3 compliance Applications • Connectorization in: - RF-overlay FTTP networks - Cable TV backbone networks - Outside plant & FTTx applications - FTTD - MDU FTTP Cabling • Central office • Data center installation • Repairs and restoration Specifications PARAMETER VALUE Connector Type SC, LC Cable Type 900 μm, 2 mm, and 3 mm Polish APC, UPC, PC Insertion Loss (New Product) * SM: 0.15 dB (average), 0.25 dB (maximum) MM: 0.10 dB (average), 0.25 dB (maximum) Return Loss (New Product) * SM: ≤ -65 dB (APC), ≤ -55 dB (UPC) MM: ≤ -35 dB (PC) Operating Temperature -40°C to +75°C Connectors per Pack 6 Next Generation FUSEConnect Connectors (SC, LC + ST old design) FUSEConnect in Fusion Splicer continued Next Generation FUSEConnect Kits—SC (2 mm/3 mm), LC (900 μm) FUSEConnect ST Kit (blue, old design) * Insertion loss and return loss impacted by handling, cleanliness and quality of splice. AFL maintains the above values for new product prior to shipping before it leaves the factory, but cannot guarantee installed product will perform the same due to varying influences at installation. 2 AFLglobal.com 1 (800) 235-3423 © 2025, AFL, all rights reserved.
