CONNECTORS FIELD INSTALLABLE CONNECTORS AFL's FASTConnect® field installable connectors are factory pre-polished, completely eliminating the need for hand polishing in the field. Their proven mechanical splice technology ensures precision fibre alignment, plus a factory precleaved fibre stub and a proprietary index matching gel combine to offer an immediate low loss termination to either single mode or multimode optical fibres. AFL's FASTConnect® connectors are compatible with 250μm and 900μm optical fibres, in addition to 900μmm, 2mm and 3mm cable diameters. All primary fibre types are supported, and each connector is colour coded per industry standard requirements to aid in identification during and after installation. A factory installed wedge clip (included with each connector) is removed and discarded upon completion of the termination. Incorporated into this device is an innovative,translucent wedge enabling the use of a common VFI to provide a “pass/fail” signal once physical contact is achieved.

DROP CABLES FibreFab provide's a wide range of cables for FTTx drop cable applications. There is not one standard drop cable but there are many standard cables that are ideal as drop cables. A drop cable is any cable design that is suitable to connect from the last distribution point of the FTTx network to the MDU (multi dwelling unit) or SDU (single dwelling unit or apartment). The drop cable may need to be installed in a duct, directly buried, pushed or blown through a microduct, suspended with a messenger wire, lashed to another cable or wire, self supporting installed on poles, installed on cable basket or in trunking. Each of these installation methods requires a cable design optimised for the environment and installation method. Drop cables can be supplied pre-terminated for fast installation.

SINGLE MODE ATTENUATORS Our attenuators provide ultra-low return loss and are available from 1dB to 30dB in 1dB increments. They are used in communication systems to reduce optical power launched onto the optical detector. These high performance devices are designed to give accurate attenuation over a wide range of wavelengths. The plug type configuration allows them to be used directly on the end of a patch cord, which in turn can be inserted directly into an adaptor.

FEATURES & BENEFITS –– Available LC, FC, SC connector styles with UPC or APC finish –– Available MU, ST connector styles with UPC finish –– Plug-in type package –– Accurate attenuation –– Ultra-low back reflection –– Broad wavelength band –– Flat response over all wavelengths –– Environmentally stable
