FuseConnect™ Series
FuseConnect™ is factory pre-polished, field-installable connectors by fusion splice that completely eliminate the need for hand polishing in the field.
FuseConnect™ Series
FuseConnect™ is designed to work with an industry standard cleaver and splicers utilising a fibre holder
system and the simplified field installation process minimises the potential for operator error and expensive
connector scrap, even in difficult field environments or in exposed conditions at remote site locations.
Our latest fusion splicers are also pre-programmed for FuseConnect™ terminations, which further simplifies
the assembly process.
Features
● No epoxy, No polishing
● Easily fusion splicer termination operation
● FuseConnect™ is designed for 900 μm coated fiber, 2 mm / 3 mm cord and rectangle shaped drop/indoor cable
Applications
● Field termination of optical connector in Data center and central office
● Low return loss connection

Assembly Flow of Fuse Connector
FuseConnect-SC-QA-SM-20 (SC connector, QA type, SM, 2 mm cord)
1. Remove cord jacket and cut Aramid yarn in proper length. Remove 0.9 mm coated fiber and set onto the fiber holder for cleaving the fiber in proper length.
2. Set fiber holder and connector holder onto fusion splicer for splicing.
3. Set protection sleeve to the spliced fiber with Aramid yarn. Heat the protection sleeve.
4. Assemble housing.
Note: See operation manual for details. Assembly flow is different in connector types and cord types.
