With SEL's Lynx-CustomFit Splice-On Connectors, users can quickly and easily complete permanent field terminations without the excess slack, shorts, and logistic delays of pre-terminated cables or the need for splice trays that would be needed with pigtail assemblies. Pre-cleaned and cleaved fiber stubs in hermetically sealed trays eliminate the need for stripping and cleaving the ferrule stub in the field, making the process faster and easier. A patented ferrule hub design along with carefully manufactured Sumitomo Electric splice sleeves combine to ensure high-quality, low-loss splices every time. When needed, cordage versions require no crimping, yet meet the same mechanical performance industry standards as factory-installed connectors. After installation, the appearance is nearly identical to factory-terminated connectors, and matches them in performance. Widely recognized for their first-class performance, Lynx-CustomFit Splice-On Connectors can successfully mate with any standard connectors in an existing network and perform well for many years to come.
