FOCX32
Common splice units can be used without special knowledge. They usually operate with image
processing, enable a fiber check in both axes as well as an integrated estimation of the
splice loss, and offer fully automatical splicing.
2.6.3 Pre-assembled connectors
There are also connectors which can be finally assembled on site. These are pre-assembled
plugs with an attached piece of fiber. As a special advantage of such connectors, they do not
require additional tools for mounting.
This type of assembly takes no more than 30 seconds (preparation of the fibers already included).
Since upon delivery the connectors are polished by default, there is no need to prepare
the optical fibers that shall be linked. The connector uses the V-groove splice principle,
that does not require epoxides for bonding. The average insertion attenuation for single-mode
fibers is 0.2 dB with a return loss exceeding 50 dB.
