Overview

The Panduit FLCSLT9SOCA9AG is a high-efficiency fusion splice LC-APC fiber optic connector designed for singlemode 9/125µm OS2 fiber applications. This connector is engineered for 250µm loose-tube fiber with 900-micron build-up tubing, making it ideal for high-density network installations where precision and speed are critical. The pre-polished endface eliminates the need for time-consuming field polishing, reducing installation labor costs by up to 50% compared to traditional methods. Key features include a green-colored front assembly and a green/grey rear assembly/boot for easy identification and compliance with industry standards. The connector meets or exceeds ISO/IEC 11801, ANSI/TIA-568.3-D, and IA/EIA-604 (FOCIS-3 and FOCIS-10) specifications, ensuring interoperability with existing infrastructure. It is RoHS-compliant, meeting Directive 2002/95/EC requirements for hazardous substance restrictions. Field termination is completed in approximately two minutes using standard fusion splice machines (not included), making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications where rapid deployment is essential. The LC-APC design provides angled physical contact for reduced back reflection, critical for high-speed data transmission and long-haul networks. The connector’s modular design allows for easy integration into Panduit’s fiber optic enclosures and splice trays, such as the OFCD6517BF, ensuring organized and protected splice points in outdoor environments. Applications include data centers, enterprise networks, telecommunications, and industrial automation where reliable singlemode connectivity is required. The connector’s corrosion-resistant materials ensure durability in harsh environmental conditions, while its compact form factor supports high-density fiber terminations. Compatible with 250µm loose-tube fiber with 900µm build-up tubing, this connector is a cost-effective solution for reducing installation time and operational expenses without compromising performance.

How to Install the Panduit Fusion-Splice Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing Panduit Fusion-Splice Connectors for loose tube fiber with a 900μm build-up.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Fiber cleaver, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

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

  1. Prepare the fiber

    Strip at least 45 inches (115cm) of the outer jacket from the fiber and remove any aramid. Ensure there is approximately 1 inch (3cm) of inner jacket to encapsulate in the fanout kit.

  2. Clean the fiber

    Clean the bare fiber with lint-free wipes and fiber cleaning solution, following proper safety precautions necessary when dealing with bare optical fiber.

  3. Cleave the fiber

    Cleave the bare fiber to a length of 10mm using a fiber cleaver.

  4. Assemble the connector

    Place the connector rear housing and boot assembly onto the field fiber, then slide the splice protection sleeve onto the field fiber.

  5. Insert the fiber into the splice machine

    Place the cleaved fiber into the left-side fiber holder of the splice machine according to the specific instructions for your machine.

  6. Initiate the splice process

    Close the wind cover of the splice stage and start the splice process as per your machine's instructions.

  7. Complete the splice

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

  8. Heat the splice

    Place the splice point in the heater of the splice machine and close the heater cover. Follow the on-screen instructions for the heating and cooling process.

  9. Final assembly

    Once the heating cycle is complete, snap the front housing together with the rear housing, ensuring the red alignment dot on top of the connector assembly faces up for APC connectors.
