Lynx-CustomFit™ Splice-On Connectors

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.
