Overview

The Panduit FLCS2/9SOCU9BU Fusion Splice LC-UPC Fiber Optic Connector is engineered for high-precision singlemode fiber installations. This simplex connector is designed for 9/125µm OS1/OS2 fiber, accommodating both 900µm tight-buffered and 250µm loose-tube fiber types. Field termination is exceptionally rapid, achievable in approximately two minutes using common fusion splice machine brands, significantly reducing installation time and labor compared to traditional methods. The connector comprises a ferrule assembly with an integral bare fiber stub, a front housing, a rear housing with an integrated boot, and a splice protection sleeve for robust connection integrity. It features a factory-polished zirconia ceramic ferrule, eliminating the need for field polishing and adhesives. For singlemode fiber, it offers an average insertion loss of 0.15dB (0.30dB maximum) and a return loss exceeding 55dB (UPC). The functional temperature range is from -40°C to 75°C. Ideal for fusion splicing applications requiring permanent, low-loss connections, this connector is suitable for enterprise, data center, and service provider networks. Its compact design and LC-UPC polish contribute to low insertion loss and high return loss, crucial for high-speed data transmission. The connector's design also requires less space for splice management compared to pigtail splicing, reducing the amount of fiber needing management.

How to Install the Panduit Fusion-Splice Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing Panduit fusion-splice connectors using compatible splice machines.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Fusion-splice connectors, Splice protection sleeves, Lint-free wipes, Fiber cleaning solution

  1. Prepare the splice machine

    Follow the initiation steps specific to your splice machine, including powering up, performing arc tests, and ensuring proper cleaning and maintenance.

  2. Strip the fiber

    Strip approximately 35mm of buffer and acrylate off of the fiber using wire strippers. Ensure that the fiber is clean and free from any debris.

  3. Cleave the fiber

    Cleave the bare fiber to a length of 10mm. If the fiber does not cleave, ensure that all acrylate coating has been removed.

  4. Insert the fiber into the splice holder

    Place the cleaved fiber into the left-side fiber holder of the splice machine according to the manufacturer's instructions.

  5. Prepare the connector assembly

    Open the connector assembly blister pack from right to left, ensuring to grab the handling stick rather than the fiber stub end.

  6. Position the connector in the holder

    Insert the connector assembly into the disposable plastic holder with the fiber stub protruding to the left and the handling stick to the right.

  7. Initiate the splice process

    Close the holder on the right side of the splice area and then close the wind cover of the splice stage. Start the splice process if required by your machine.

  8. Complete the splice

    Once the splice is completed, gently slide the splice protection sleeve up to the rear of the fiber holder and open both holders.

  9. Heat the splice

    Place the splice point in the heater of the splice machine, ensuring the splice protection sleeve is centered. Close the heater cover and start the heating process.

  10. Assemble the connector

    After the heating and cooling cycle is complete, remove the assembly from the heating area and snap the front housing together with the rear housing.
