Optical Connectivity 1 FUSEConnect ® Fusion-Spliced, Field-Installable Connectors AFL’s FUSEConnect fusion-spliced, field installable connectors are uniquely designed and feature only four to five components. The factory pre-polished ferrule eliminates the need for polishing, adhesives, and crimping in the field, which minimizes the potential for operator error and expensive connector scrap. FUSEConnect utilizes a fusion splicer to terminate the connector in the field, addressing return loss concerns present in analog optical networks. This advanced process yields true APC performance for SC/APC and LC/APC configurations. FUSEConnect is compatible with Fujikura fusion splicers and most other fiber holder-based fusion splicing platforms. Features • Field installable • No adhesives, crimping or polishing • True APC performance • Compatible with most fusion splicers Applications • Connectorization in: - RF-overlay FTTP networks - Cable TV backbone networks - Outside plant - FTTD - MDU FTTP Cabling • Central office connector replacement • Data center installation Specifications PARAMETER VALUE Connector Type SC, LC, ST Cable Type 900 μm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4.8 mm (SC only) Polish APC, UPC, PC Insertion Loss SM: 0.15 dB (average), 0.25 dB (maximum) / MM: 0.10 dB (average), 0.25 dB (maximum) Return Loss SM: ≤ -65 dB (APC), ≤ -55 dB (UPC) / MM: ≤ -35 dB (PC) FUSEConnect Connectors (SC, LC, ST) FUSEConnect in Fusion Splicer FUSEConnect Kits—ST (blue), SC (green), LC (blue) continued 2 AFLglobal.com 1 (800) 235-3423 © 2007, AFL, all rights reserved.
