AFL's new FAST Connectors are pre-polished, field installable connectors that eliminate the need for hand polishing in the field. FAST Connectors provide an immediate termination to either single-mode or multimode fibers. FAST Connectors feature a pre-stubbed factory-polished ferrule that couples to the fiber being terminated by precision mechanical alignment, insuring low loss with a proprietary gel. Each FAST Connector comes with a factory-installed wedge clip that holds the clamping device open while the fiber is inserted. Once the fiber is in place, the wedge clip is removed and discarded. Installation takes just minutes and couldn’t be easier. Strip the buffer, cleave and insert the fiber into the Fast Connector. Release the wedge clip...you're done! Gone are the expensive tools, jigs and messy epoxy.
