Furukawa electric FITEL S122 Quick Reference Manual

DESCRIPTION

FITEL's new connector termination system allows for unsurpassed
performance and flexibility in the field.
This new "splice-on" connector eliminates the need for field polishing
and significantly improves the quality of the termination and installa-
tion time required.
FITEL's factory polished ferrules with pre-cleaved fiber stubs are spliced
onto the field fiber utilizing FITEL's proprietary ferrule holder and
fusion splicer. Once spliced, the SC/APC or SC/UPC connector is easily
assembled by using a process that requires minimal skill or training.

FEATURES & APPLICATIONS
• Simple, Fast, & Consistent Field Termination
Allows for easy field repair of pre-terminated splitters, fan outs, and drop terminals.
• No Polishing or Epoxy
FITEL's connector termination process requires no polishing or epoxy increasing the quality and consis-
tency of field connector termination. Total installation time is greatly reduced compared to traditional
methods.
• Fiber Management
The most difficult task for splicer operators has always been managing the fiber upon completion of
splicing. The connector termination feature on the S122A and S177A eliminates the need for splice trays
resulting in easier fiber management, reduced storage requirements, and faster installation times.
