The 1.25mm LC, 2.5mm SC, and FC configurations fit different connections. An innovative alignment window, a pre-installed wedge clip, a compact body, a guide channel, and a metal base plate. Lastly, this device is good for FTTH projects due to its unique ability to reduce installation complexities.
Expect rapid connectivity using the COMMMESH Fast Connector. The product ensures termination within a short timeframe. You will appreciate the integrated splice holder, the stripped fiber length indicator, the quick cleave angle verification window.
You can use 125 µm cladding diameter fibers within the fast connector. Its pre-assembled structure, one-piece body, factory-set ferrule assembly, precision alignment parts, and pre-loaded index matching gel, allow quick connection setup. The Fast Connector works well in central offices, and remote terminals alike.
Our Fast Connector features an easy process. Its design includes a two-piece body, an activation key, a fiber retention mechanism, a visual fault indicator, and a rear buffer lock. The pre-polished ferrule end face eliminates manual polishing. Its 900-micron buffer support, 250-micron coating compatibility, 3mm jacket configuration, and 125µm fiber adaptability, allow for a range of uses. These 50mm, 55mm, 60mm long connectors streamline fiber optic setups.
COMMMESH Fast Connector excels in adaptability. You can install it directly at job sites. The single-mode variants achieve a return loss ≥ 60 dB, and multimode types reach ≥ 35 dB. Each connector has a body, a dust cover, an internal fiber stub, a matching fluid, a guide rail, a 0.9 mm pigtail support, and a compact size. Field installation is done with minimal equipment for various telecommunication scenarios.

Initially, you will use a jacket stripper tool with a 60-90 µm blade. Remove the outer 2.0 mm jacket of a drop cable to reveal the tight buffer. Adjust the dual-port buffer stripper to 900 µm, removing the coating, exposing the 250 µm acrylate layer of fiber. Subsequently, eliminate about 30-40 mm length of this layer, leaving the 125 µm cladding, using the fiber-stripper set at 250um.To clean anything out, you use a wipe that's 99.9 percent isopropyl alcohol. This ensures optimal performance for an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR). The SC/APC assembly ensures accurate fiber alignment.
Next, the preferred method is to use a precision cleaver for a 900 µm coated fiber with ± 0.5 deg. cutting angle tolerance. Achieve a cleave length between 8-20 mm. Maintain a tensile strength above 4.4 N after cutting. Put the fiber in the v groove. Ensure there is a 10 mm distance between the cleaver's blade edge, and the tip of the sheath. To do so, then activate the mechanism, and align it so it offers the 2.5 mm zirconia ceramic ferrule best performance. The SC/APC connector features a pre-polished end-face.
Thereafter, the prepared optical fiber will be introduced into the rear of the SC/APC fast connector body. Slide the 3.0 mm boot, guide it through its internal stop. Proper coupling requires that the 125-um diameter fiber be seated down into the v groove alignment mechanism correctly. Integrated cam lock is activated. It secures the 0.25 mm diameter buffer so there is a stable connection. The index-matching gel in this mechanism reduces Fresnel reflections. It is rated for operations, at temperatures between -40 to +85 degrees Celsius. Use its mechanical splice connector.
Finally, evaluate the terminated SC/APC fast connector with a visual fault locator (VFL) that has a 650 nm wavelength output. Make sure there’s no visible light leak and that the fiber isn’t bent beyond a 5 mm minimum bend radius at the connection point. Check that the 2.5 mm diameter pre polished ferrule is aligned in the connector housing. Look at the strain relief boot to be sure that it is securely attached and that it provides axial force protection as high as 50 Newtons.
