SC APC, LC Compatible
Single-Mode Field-Installable Connector
An Evolant
®
Solutions Product
Applications
• Single-mode FTTx MDU, FTTx ONT, CO cross-connect,
and direct-connect to electronics
• Maintenance and restoration of building cable
• Ideal for MDU applications where installation setup and
teardown time is critical
Description
With proven field-installable connector technology, fiber
terminations using the OptiSnap
™
Connector system are fast,
easy and reliable. The Corning Cable Systems patented, high-
precision mechanical splice technology enables fiber optic
networks to be installed quickly and cost effectively.
The patented Corning Cable Systems go/no-go feedback signal
allows the installer to verify that the installation is performed
right, the first time, every time. Insert the fiber, activate the cam
and watch the pass/fail light illuminate, instilling confidence in
every connector installed.
The factory-polished ceramic ferrule provides superior quality
for end-face geometry. The single-mode OptiSnap Connector
is available in an ultra physical contact (UPC) polish or an
angled physical contact (APC) polish (SC only), offering you
a higher grade of performance for your field terminations.
With fast installation time and low insertion loss, the
OptiSnap Connector system provides a good alternative
to fusion splicing.
Installation is as easy as strip, clean, cleave, cam and crimp.
