Optical Connectivity 1 continued FASTConnect ® Field-Installable Connectors FASTConnect are factory pre-polished, field-installable 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 are compatible with 250 μm and 900 μm optical fibers, as well as 4.8 mm (SC only) 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 • No epoxy, no Polish • Low insertion loss • Fiber can be reinserted up to three times • 4.8 mm (SC only) cordage compatibility • VFI accessory to confirm proper installation Applications • Premise/Enterprise Networks • LAN/WAN Connections • Patch Panels • Equipment Termination • FTTx Applications • Field Repair/Replacement • Equipment Test Leads Specifications Parameter Type Value Insertion Loss: Single-mode - UPC Single-mode - APC Multimode - PC Average: 0.2 dB, Maximum: 0.5 dB Average: 0.3 dB, Maximum: 0.6 dB Average: 0.1 dB, Maximum: 0.5 dB Return Loss at Room Temperature Single-mode - UPC Single-mode - APC Multimode Average: -50 dB, Maximum: -45 dB Average: -55 dB, Maximum: -50 dB Average: -25 dB, Maximum: -20 dB
