FASTConnect® field-installable connectors are factory pre-polished connectors that eliminate the need for hand polishing. Proven mechanical splice technology, a factory pre-cleaved fiber stub and proprietary index-matching gel provide low-loss terminations for single-mode and multimode fibers. FASTConnect connectors are compatible with 250 µm and 900 µm optical fibers, as well as 900 µm, 2 mm and 3 mm cordage. Each connector is color-coded per industry standard for identification; a factory-installed wedge clip is removed after termination. The translucent wedge enables use of a VFI to provide a pass/fail signal once physical contact is achieved.
