Field Installable Optical Connectors
The field installable optical connectors are designed to be easily installed in the
Outline
field.
The mechanical splice technology allows you to attach connectors with pre-
polished endfaces to optical cables quickly and easily.
Field installable connectors are available in various types: SC and MT-RJ
connectors.
