Two Polish Free Optical Connection Systems

Fibre is terminated by an epoxy fix in a ferrule and then the end face polished until the desired shape (normally spherical), fibre protrusion (or undercut) and surface finish (scratch free) is achieved. This is time consuming and very much more difficult in the field. BBN International supplies a range of termination solutions including the industry standard Seikoh Giken polishing machines, Fujikura splicing machines and 2 new pre-polished connector systems.
 
FAST Series

A proven 'Mechanical Splice' technique in each connector ensures reliable and quick connections wherever you are.!

  • Field installable high reliability connector
  • Requires no polishing
  • No cumbersome assembly tools
  • Fast and easy operation
  • Universal for 250 or 900um coated fibre
  • Fully compatible with standard  connectors / adapters

The Fujikura FAST Series connectors have a fibre connectorisation time of less than 30 seconds, including preparation. Apart from the standard fibre preparation tools, no other specialised tools are required in conjunction with the connector.

The product has been factory-polished, eliminating the need for any polishing materials, thereby enabling the preparation and termination of two optical fibres in a fraction of the time of other conventional methods.

The connector uses V-groove mechanical splice principals and therefore the use of epoxies is not required. The average insertion loss for singlemode is 0.2 dB, with a return loss of 55 dB, whilst for multimode GI62.5, the average insertion loss is 0.03 dB (0.07 dB for multimode GI50.0).

Using the onsite assembly optical connector, it is possible to improve the flexibility of optical wiring design as well as reducing the time required for wiring work. The FAST-SC connector is becoming popular as a connector for optical wiring inside buildings and floors, and with the expansion of FTTH, it is expected that demand will continue to increase in the future.

Splice-On Connector
  • Splice-On-Connector enables field termination of optical patch cords and trunk cables with no epoxy or polishing required
  • Utilizes a high-grade, factory pre-polished zirconia ferrule and offers a compact body designed to fit existing patch panels
  • FITEL fusion splicing technology combined with Seikoh Giken connector design technology achieves reliable, repeatable results
  • Meets all requirements of Telcordia GR-326-CORE Service Life Test

The innovative splice-on-connector termination system allows for unsurpassed performance and flexibility in the field.

These specially designed splice-on-connectors eliminate the need for field polishing and significantly improve the quality of terminations and installation times required.

Seikoh Giken's factory-polished ferrules with pre-cleaved fibre stubs are spliced onto the field fibre utilizing FITEL's proprietary ferrule holder and fusion splicer. Once spliced, either an SC/APC, SC/UPC, FC/APC, or FC/UPC connector is easily assembled using a process requiring minimal training.

This connector termination system is compatible with FITEL's S122A and S177A fusion splicing machines.
