These field-mountable connectors allow installers to easily fit factory-polished connectors and mechanically splice-attached connectors to optical cables in protected outdoor environments.
They are suitable for networking devices, wireless infrastructure, and telecommunications applications, including broadband service provider installations, fibre to the X (FTTX) architectures, and distributed access/remote physical layer (PHY) systems.
The field-mountable connectors enable faster on-site fibre optic cable installation while reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
By allowing installers to connect rather than splice cables, the field-mountable connectors eliminate manual epoxy and polishing, reduce fixture and training requirements, and improve design flexibility.
In contrast to fusion splicing, the terminations can be worked on in areas exposed to poor weather, where equipment damage may occur.
The Quasar OptiX connectors feature a high-fibre retention force and factory-polished connector interfaces to improve network performance and reduce signal loss.
Additional features include an SC connector, bare fibre jacketed cable, and single-mode fibre type.
The field-mountable connectors are suitable for outdoor installation in regions with extreme temperature variations, operating reliably in temperatures from -40°C to +75°C or -25°C to +70°C, depending on the cable type.
They also withstand 500 mating cycles, support a 40N/5s tensile load, and meet IEC 61754-4, ANSI/TIA-568.3-E industry standards.
