CraftSmart Fiber Splice-On Connectors

Fiber assemblies are used in a variety of carrier networks and private network environments. In some applications, the fiber assembly cannot be deployed with factory terminated connectors. In other instances, there may be a need for quick fiber restoration in the field. CraftSmart® Splice-On Connectors are designed for these applications.

Product Details

In situations where a factory terminated fiber assembly isn’t possible, the CraftSmart Splice-On Connector provides the solution for consistent performance. Common applications include field restoration of a broken fiber or when the customer is using media that is expensive and/or difficult to store. In these cases, the customer prefers to cut the media to exact length for his purposes and then use the CraftSmart Splice-On Connector. The Clearfield® advantage is that the protection splice sleeve is directly under the boot, making the routing of the terminated end easier.

The CraftSmart Splice-On Connector is available in all industry standard connectors, including SC/UPC, SC/APC and LC/UPC. The Splice-On Connector meets, and even exceeds industry standard insertion and return loss. Pre-polished and pre-cleaved, the CraftSmart Splice-On Connector is packaged with all required connector components needed to splice a connector onto a 900 μm fiber in the field. CraftSmart Splice-on Connectors require the use of a fusion splicer with removable splice holders.
