Field-Installable Connectors

Field-Installable Connectors

The FAST Series optical fibre connectors from Fujikura. Field installable fibre connectors have a potential fibre connectorisation time of less than 30 seconds, including preparation. Apart from the standard fibre preparation tools, no other specialised tools are required in conjunction with the PC range of connectors, however APC variants require some additional tooling.

The FAST series field installable fibre connectors have been factory-polished, eliminating the need for any polishing materials, thereby enabling the preparation and termination of optical fibres in a fraction of the time of other conventional methods. The connector also uses V-groove mechanical splice principals and therefore the use of an epoxy is not required for the termination of the connector.

Using this onsite assembly optical fibre connectors, it is possible to improve the flexibility of optical wiring design as well as reducing the time required for fibre termination. The FAST series connectors are already a popular solution for optical wiring inside buildings and floors for LAN & CCTV applications and with the expansion of FTTH, is already proving itself to be the fibre connector of choice by incumbents, municipalities, utilities & alternative carriers.
