The ULTRAsplice is a high performance, cost effective, mechanical fiber optic splice that is reusable and easy to install for emergency or permanent installations. A fiber fast connector, also known as a mechanical splice or cold connector, is a field-installable connector that terminates fiber optic cables without requiring a fusion splicer. The splice features a patented glass capillary alignment tube, pre-loaded with index matching gel, to allow inspection of fiber. The ULTRAsplice is for 125um clad fiber in singlemode and multimode applications. 2dBwith a fiber retention of over 2 lbs. Cleave and insert fibers while checking location in the glass capillary. Fiber optic joints or terminations are made two ways: 1) splices which create a permanent joint between the two fibers or 2) connectors that mate two fibers to create a temporary joint and/or connect the fiber to a piece of network gear. Either joining method must have three primary characteristics. High quality optical fiber mechanical splices such as 3M Fibrlok, Corning Camsplice, AMP CoreLink, Siemon UltraSplice, and more.
