Customized field termination is now made possible for all environments, including outside plant, with Sumitomo’s Lynx—CustomFit Splice-On Connector. It provides advantages over conventional termination methods, namely preterminated jumpers and mechanical splices.
The Lynx—CustomFit Splice-On Connector eliminates the need for maintaining an inventory of precise and varying lengths of preterminated jumpers, allowing the field technician to customize the OSP termination in the field, ensuring quick and accurate connectorizations. It also eliminates the added space and cost required for a splice tray.
Unlike mechanical splicing methods, which require index matching gel with a limited shelf life, the Lynx Splice-On Connector provides a quick method of permanently splicing a factory polished connector without hazardous adhesives. Moreover, fusion splicing the connector generates superior results over mechanical splicing with less back reflection and lower insertion loss (typically 0.05 dB or less for fusion splicing versus 0.3 dB for mechanical splicing).
The Lynx—CustomFit Splice-On Connector is compatible with a vast array of existing splicer brands in the market. Customization in the field, ease of use, elimination of hand polishing, reproducible results, reliability, and unprecedented accuracy in connectorization makes the Lynx—CustomFit Splice-On Connector the new choice in fiber termination.
