Questions & Answers

Q
How is a pre-terminated fiber optic assembly tested?
A
Each assembly is serialized and includes a full test report. The test report is saved in our database for one year and can be requested at anytime.
Q
What connectors can it get on fiber optic assembly?
A
Common connector types available for pre-terminated fiber optic assemblies include LC, SC, ST, FC, and MTP/MPO connectors. Connectors are staggered to reduce the pulling basket diameter and promote an easy and more flexible cable pull. Plastic wrap is also applied to prevent contamination during installation
Q
What is a FC connector?
A
An FC connector (ferrule connector) is known for its threaded design and use in single-mode fiber connections. FC connectors are less favored in modern networks such as high-density applications where LC and SC connectors see more wide spread use.
Q
What is a LC connector?
A
An LC (Lucent Connector) connector is one of the most common types of cable connectors used in fiber optic networks. It utilizes a 1.25mm ferrule (half that of FC, SC, and ST) and push-pull latch mechanism for secure and easy connections
Q
What is a pre-terminated fiber optic assembly?
A
A pre-terminated fiber optic assembly is a complete optical cable solution that comes with connectors already attached to the fiber strands. These assemblies include components such as fiber cables, connectors, protective jackets, and pulling eyes, all designed to provide a seamless installation experience.
