Page 24 - Key Considerations for Choosing a Fiber Termination Method

Considerations for Choosing Mechanical Splice Connectors
► Fastest field option and best option if you don’t own a fusion splicer
► Best field option for lower skill sets
► Not the best option if you need extremely low loss performance
– 0.2 – 0.3dB is typical
► Choose a solution with the ability to verify termination via VFL
► Ideal for lower fiber counts in fast deployment, repairs and reconfiguration scenarios
► Simplex and duplex applications only
