OPTOKON SOCF-QUICK-CURE Splice On Connector
Product Information
The Fiber Optic Technology Calibration Laboratory is a connector system designed for use in various applications such as FTTH (Fiber To The Home) projects, CATV networks, access and data networks, data center installations, and Fiber To The Desk (FTTD). It features a factory pre-polished ferrule and can be field installed in less than 3 minutes without the need for adhesives, crimping, mechanical splices, index matching gels, or polishing. The connector has high APC performance and is SM Compliant to Telcordia GR-326 and MM compliant to TIA/EIA-568C.3. It eliminates the need for splice trays and splice panels.
The connector types available are SC, LC, FC, and ST. It uses PC (Multimode), UPC (Single mode), and APC (Single mode) polishing technology. The fiber types available are S7A1 G.657A1, OM1, OM2, and OM3. The insertion loss and return loss are dependent on the connector and fiber type used. The operating temperature range is not specified.
Product Usage Instructions
To use the Fiber Optic Technology Calibration Laboratory connector system, follow these steps:
- Select the appropriate connector type and polishing style based on your requirements.
- Select the appropriate fiber type based on your requirements.
- Insert the fiber into the connector until it clicks into place.
- Tighten the connector using the appropriate tool until it is secure.
The connector can be installed in less than 3 minutes without the need for adhesives, crimping, mechanical splices, index matching gels, or polishing. It eliminates the need for splice trays and splice panels. Please note that the insertion loss and return loss may vary depending on the connector and fiber type used.
Description
The OPTOKON Splice On Connector SOCF introduces a field installable connector for use in field conditions. The SOCF is based on fusion splicing technology, the connector is splice the end of the fiber. The factory prepolished ferrule eliminates the need for polishing, adhesives, index matching gels, and crimping in the field. Using a fusion splicer to terminate the connector in the field provides a very reliable connection and minimizes the potential for operator error and expensive connector scrap. In comparison with other field installable connectors technology the spliced SOCF ensures high Return Loss parameter, which practically depends on factory APC and UPC polishing process.
