FAST™ are factory pre-polished, field-installable connectors that completely eliminate the need for hand polishing in the field.

Proven mechanical splice technology ensuring precision fiber alignment, a factory pre-cleaved fiber stub and a proprietary index-matching gel combine to offer an immediate low loss termination to either single-mode or multimode optical fibers.

Feature

・Easy installation with no e-power needed in field
・No epoxy, No polishing
・Low insertion loss
・FAST™ have the design to clamp 250um/900um coated fiber, 2mm/3mm cord and square shaped outdoor/indoor cable.
・FAST™ demonstrates the performance combining both SC/LC/ST connectors and Mechanical splices.
