What is Fiber optic fast connector
Fast connector is a fiber optic connector that achieves fast fiber optic connection through mechanical means. An SC fast connector is specifically designed for the rapid termination of optical fibers. It facilitates quick field termination of fiber optic cables, making it ideal for applications efficiently on time. SC fast connectors usually come with a pre-polished ferrule and a mechanical splice mechanism, which allowing for fast and dependable fiber termination. The installation and connection process for these quick connectors is relatively easy without specialized tools or equipment.
The fast connector is widely utilized in the FTTH market across Asia and Latin America. A key feature of this connector is that it contains an embedded fiber, which creates a fiber connection point that results in higher loss compared to standard connectors. In all, about 50 different designs of fast connectors have been introduced to the market. but indeed. Over 90% of them are 1 type (For 2.0mm x 3.0mm flat drop cable). The others are for 0.9mm/1.6×2.0mm/mm/3.0mm /5.0mm cable.
Why we use fast connector
Flexible Wiring
For FTTX user-side optical fiber cabling projects, it is important to have fast and reliable optical fiber termination due to the numerous nature of these projects and the complex and diverse on-site construction environments. SC fast connectors offer increased flexibility in fiber optic cabling design for FTTH networks. Fiber optic fast connectors are extensively used in optical testers, and optical transmission networks.
High efficiency
These connectors, which incorporate single-mode optical fiber, come with factory-pre-polished ends, removing the necessity for grinding or gluing during installation. This guarantees high-quality connector ends and excellent reflective performance.
Simple Installation
The SC fast connector is a field-assembled fiber optic connector that only requires basic connection tools for the direct termination of home optical cables. It removes the need for processes such as glue injection, grinding, and welding, making it user-friendly and straightforward to use.
Broad Applicability
Fiber optic fast connectors are highly versatile and can be used in a variety of fiber optic interconnections, including telecommunications distribution, FTTH and FTTX applications, passive optical networks (ATM, WDM, Ethernet), broadband services, cable television (CATV), and more.
Where can we use SC fast connector
The SC fiber quick connector allows simple fiber connections without the need for any additional tools. Fiber quick connectors are widely used in all fiber optic interconnections, such as FTTH and FTTX, passive optical networks (ATM, WDM), broadband, cable TV (CATV), etc.
Fast connector can be installed in the factory.No cable assembly required. The cable connection happened on the site. The workers can assemble the cable with SC quick connector in a few minutes.It’s very convenient and in high efficient. At the same time. it can avoid the waste of drop cable on the site which is hard to forecast and measure in the project.
Conclusion
SC Fibre Optic fast Connector connect simple fibre optic without any additional tools. Fibre optic quick connectors are widely used in all fibre optic interconnections.
