The Fiber Optic Field Assembly Fast Connector, also known as a Quick Connector, is a key component in fiber optic networks, particularly in Field-Terminated networks and FTTH connections.
The FC Field Assembly Fast Connector is designed for easy and fast setup, usually in less than 2 minutes. It only needs basic fiber preparation tools and a small space, making it very user-friendly. The installation process involves stripping the buffer, cleaving and cleaning the fiber, and then inserting the fixed-length fiber through the connector’s ferrule.
The connectors have a pre-polished ferrule (UPC/APC) that connects to the fiber being terminated with precise alignment. This ensures low loss by using a proprietary refractive index matching gel. They offer high optical performance and use proven v-groove technologies.
Quick Connectors are great for field technicians of all experience levels.
For the pre-embedded fiber type field assembly optical connector, the fiber connects with the pre-embedded fiber by index-matching gel. (Figure 1)
