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.
