American made. Field proven.

Fiber solutions that connect America.

For more than 40 years, AFL has engineered fiber optic solutions built to perform where broadband actually gets deployed; aerial, underground, and inside the premise. From fiber optic cable and connectivity to fusion splicers and OTDR test equipment, AFL gives network builders a single, trusted source for the products that move fiber from plan to turn-up.
﻿
AFL's broadband portfolio helps service providers deploy fiber faster and keep crews productive from the office to the home.
﻿
What that means for you: fewer surprises in the field, cleaner architectures, and American-made materials that ship when your timelines and build schedule demand them.
﻿

Why AFL

Missed deadlines. Failed certifications. A closure that won't seat, a splice that won't pass, a reel that lands three weeks late. On a broadband build, the wrong material choice doesn't just cost a part; it costs a crew day, a truck roll, and sometimes the whole timeline.
﻿
That's the problem AFL was built to solve. For 40 years AFL has engineered fiber that has to work the first time. That same standard now runs through the cable, closures, splicers, and test gear going into your FTTH build.

MORE THAN A SPEC SHEET

Two things set AFL apart.

American-made, made-to-order. AFL manufactures cable in Duncan, SC and North Grafton, MA — shorter, steadier supply chains and a clear path to Build America, Buy America compliance, so your grant dollars aren't at risk.
﻿
Built to work as a system. Cable, connectivity, fusion splicing, and test all engineered to work together; fewer mix-and-match failures, cleaner certifications. And AFL's engineers don't hand over a spec sheet and disappear; they analyze your application, tailor the solution, and put trainers on-site so crews get it right in the field.
﻿

Fiber Optic Cable

A complete cable line for every phase of an FTTH build: aerial, underground, and premise. Single-mode and multimode, armored and non-armored, made to order to your specifications and proven in the world's harshest environments.

Fiber Optic Connectivity

Apex® splice closures and hardened connectivity built to protect splices in the field and speed last-mile turn-up, including the Apex® X-1 Sealed Splice Closure, plus terminals and connectors for clean, reliable drops.

Fusion Splicing

Field-ready fusion splicers engineered for fast, low-loss splices that keep crews productive across FTTH and outside-plant work, backed by AFL's ACE (AFL Certified Expert) training and support program.

Test & Inspection

FlexScan® OTDRs and FOCIS® inspection systems — including the FlexScan FS300-HDR series and the FlexScan TS100 PON Troubleshooter — help teams detect, locate, and resolve network issues fast, so builds pass certification the first time.
