 FAST™ Connectors
AFLs new FAST™ Connectors are pre-polished, field installable connectors that eliminate
the need for hand polishing in the field . FAST™ Connectors provide an immediate termi-
nation to either single-mode or multimode fibers and are color-coded for ease of fiber
identification . Connectors for Laser Optimized 50µm (10G) fibers are also available .

FAST™ Connectors feature a pre-stubbed factory-polished ferrule that couples to the fiber
being terminated . Precision mechanical alignment insures low loss with a proprietary
gel . A factory-installed wedge clip (included with each connector) holds the clamping
mechanism open while the fiber is inserted . Once the fiber is in place, the wedge clip is
removed and discarded . No special assembly tools required!

 FuseConnect™
Fusion Spliced Field-terminated SC Connector

AFL Telecommunications’ FuseConnect fusion-splice field-terminated connectors are

uniquely designed, featuring just four components . With a factory pre-polished ferrule, its
innovative field-termination process eliminates polishing, adhesives, and crimping in the
field using the FuseConnect Installation Kit .
FuseConnect utilizes a fusion splicer to terminate a connector in the field, addressing
return loss concerns present in analog optical networks . This advanced process yields
FuseConnect SC Connecter true APC performance of >65dB return loss in an SC/APC configuration . Designed to work
with an industry standard 10mm cleave length and splicers utilizing a fiber holder system,
FuseConnect is compatible not only with Fujikura’s fusion splicers, but also with most
other industry available, fiber holder-based fusion splicing platforms .
The innovative four-component structure of FuseConnect eliminates the complexity of
additional crimp ring parts, virtually eliminating the crimping operation . The simplified field
installation minimizes the potential for operator error and expensive connector scrap, even
in difficult field environments or in exposed conditions at remote site locations .

Features Applications
• Field installable • RF-overlay FTTP network
FuseConnect Packaging
• Only four components connectorization
• No adhesives, crimping or polishing • Cable TV backbone network
• True APC performance connectorization
• Performs to GR-326-CORE • Outside plant connectorization
• Meet TIA/
TIA EIA-604-3 (FOCIS-3) • Central office connector replacement
• Compatible with most fusion splicers • Data center installation
• MDU optical fiber termination

SpliceConnect™ with Tool Kit
AFL Telecommunications’ SpliceConnect is a mechanical splice that provides an in-
expensive, quick alternative to mating fibers . Using V-groove technology, this splice
maintains physical contact between the fibers . An assembly tool is used to ensure the
fibers are mated correctly, resulting in <0 .1dB insertion loss (typical for single-mode) .
The SpliceConnect secures both fiber and coating independently with the U-shaped
sleeve, enhancing the strength against fiber twist .

Features Applications
• Quick splicing time • Restoration
• Minimal tools • Premise environments
• 250µm and/or 900µm fiber capabilities • Fiber-to-the-Subscriber (FTTx) applications
• Both fiber and coating are secured
independently

 Buildout Attenuators
Buildout attenuators provide superior performance for all singlemode in-line attenuation
requirements . Standard attenuation values are 5, 10, 15, and 20dB, available in SC,
FC, ST, and LC connector styles . Using no air gap, filters, or light path discontinuities,
attenuation is achieved by controlled absorption of light energy . This results in a polar-
ization insensitive device with high power handling capability, environmentally stable, and
exceptionally responsive, across a wide bandpass range .
