Hardened Fusion Splice On Connector

Benefits & Features

Significant savings by eliminating wasted cable slack and costly pre-terminated cables
Fusion splice solution provides the highest quality standards-base field installable connector for hardened optical applications
Field installable hardened solution is ideal for both new installations and emergency repairs
Eliminates inventoried products in warehouses and on tech vehicles, reducing SKU’s and improving cash flow
Eliminates slack storage boxes, reduces slack storage challenges, and provides neatly organized cables on the pole that use only the cable you need.
5 applicable cables: 5.8 mm drop cable, 5.0 mm crop cable, 5.4 x 3.0 mm ROC drop cable, 8.1 x 4.5 mm SST drop cable
