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 fast connector SC 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. They come in SC, LC, or FC types, and can handle 250um to 900um, and 2.0mm, 3.0mm diameter single mode and multimode fiber types.
