FAST™ Plus Connector
Fujikura FAST™ Plus is a series of field-installable connector which comes with an angled maintenance-free cleaver to achieve >60dB Return loss. FAST™ Plus Connector is a factory pre-polished, Next Gen field-installable connector that adopted Hybrid Matching Gel, Maintenance Free Cleaver and has high reliability and long-term performance stability.
FAST™-Plus Connector
FAST™-Plus introduces a special cleave tool, maintenance free cleaver and a new type of index matching material, called ‘solid gum’ which is combined with the existing index matching gel.
Due to the blade design and operation, the maintenance free cleaver produces a highly repeatable and high-quality fibre cleave condition which enables an exceptional ‘first time pass’ connection; meaning an OPEX reduction in customer site revisits. Due to the fact Fujikura supply the maintenance free cleaver as a pre-packaged accessory with every box of FAST™-PLUS; the CAPEX normally associated with the use of a high precision cleave tool is therefore completely negated.
In conclusion, the FAST™ PLUS product range will benefit operators in their FTTH networks builds, especially in their access network where speed, accuracy and repeatable good results matter.
Hybrid Matching material
FAST™-Plus connector comes with a new type of index matching material, called ‘solid gum’ which is combined with the existing index matching gel. This technology fills tiny gaps between the pre-installed fiber and the installing fiber. On top of that, it prevents air bubbles and contaminations from moving.
