Splice-On-Connectors



FITEL’s splice-on-connector termination system allows for unsurpassed performance and flexibility in the field. This “splice-on” connector (SOC) eliminates the need for field polishing and significantly improves the quality of the termination and installation time required. FITEL’s factory polished ferrules with pre-cleaved fiber stubs are spliced onto the field fiber utilizing FITEL’s proprietary ferrule holder and fusion splicer. The connector is easily assembled by using a process that requires minimal skill or training. On top of that, no index matching gel or epoxy is required. These connectors are optimal for use in data center applications.

The solution is available for conventional single mode and multimode fibers as well as Laser-Optimized OM-3 (50/125) Fiber.

• Simple, Fast, & Consistent Field Termination – Allows for easy field repair of pre-terminated splitters, fan outs, and drop terminals

• No Polishing or Epoxy – FITEL’s connector termination process requires no polishing or epoxy increasing the quality and consistency of field connector termination. Total installation time is greatly reduced compared to traditional methods

• Fiber Management – The most difficult task for splicer operators has always been managing the fiber upon completion of splicing. The connector termination feature of the S123C, S153A and S178A Fusion Splicers eliminates the need for splice trays resulting in easier fiber management, reduced storage requirements, and faster installation times.
