To Reduce installation times and cost; compatible with full range of cables in market
R&M has refined the FO Field field-installable fiber optic connector, with FO Field version 1.1 being compatible with all cable types available on the market. The upgrade enables installers to connect the FO Field connector to a fiber on a construction site in under a minute.
Application tests conducted by R&M customers in Central Europe revealed that the time needed to install a fiber optic outlet in residences is reduced by 30% compared to splice cabling and connection costs per subscriber can fall by up to 20%. “This innovation allows the costly and time-consuming step of fusion splicing to be skipped, while pigtails, patch cables, and installation cables can be directly connected,” said Shibu Vahid, Head of Technical Operations, R&M Middle East, Turkey and Africa.”
The FO Field is compatible with the full range of recognized cables on the market, and suitable for 125/250 µm single-mode and multi-mode fibers, buffered fibers, tight buffers and semi-tight buffers.
