Proven mechanical splice technology ensures precise fiber alignment. A factory pre-cleaved, factory-polished ferrule couples to the fiber being terminated with precise mechanical alignment. A proprietary index-matching gel ensures a low loss termination to a 50-micron OM3 multimode optical fiber cable. There are no expensive tools, no messy epoxy needed.

A factory-installed wedge clip holds the clamping device open while the fiber is inserted. This clip also enables the use of a Visible Fault Identifier (VFI) to provide a "pass/fail" signal once physical contact is achieved. The connector is compatible with 250-µm and 900-µm optical fibers, as well as 900-µm cable. 900-µm boot is provided with each connector.

This connector is also available in ST and LC versions and for 50-micron and 62.5-micron multimode, as well as single-mode fiber. Connectors for each fiber type are color coded to industry standard requirements to help with identification during and after installation.
