Quasar OptiX field mountable connectors

These connectors enable field installers to quickly and easily fit factory-polished connectors to optical cables used in protected outdoor environments subject to extreme temperatures. This saves installation and maintenance time while reducing tooling requirements.

Features

  • Allows faster installations in the field while reducing downtime and maintenance costs
    • Assembling and installing the connector takes as little as two minutes and requires no curing or polishing steps.
  • Improves signal strength and network integrity
    • The high fiber retention force maintains constant connectivity while the factorypolished connector interfaces help reduce signal loss.
  • Simplifies requirements for on-site installation of fiber optic cables
    • Minimal operating skills are necessary with only strip, cleaving and visual fault locator (VFL) tools, reducing fixture costs when compared with expensive fusion splicers. Terminations can be done in exposed areas in bad weather, unlike fusion splicing operations, where equipment damage can occur.
  • Supports use in protected outdoor environments
    • Reliable performance in a wide temperature range—from -40°C to +75°C, depending on cable type—enables outdoor installation in regions with extreme temperature variations.
