APC Singlemode Fast Connector

APC Singlemode Fast Connector

Norden fast connectors are factory pre-polished, field-installable connectors that completely eliminate the need for hand polishing in the field. These fast connectors are compatible with 0.9 mm tight buffer, 2 mm & 3 mm drop cable. This connector during the installation process does not require any adhesive and curing process. It is possible to rework so can be reduced the defect rate by worker’s connection error.
