In the increasingly updated FTTx network, the opening, configuration, and upgrade of the device are complicated; the number of devices and the number of NEs are increased, and subsequent management and maintenance are complicated. From the central office to the ONU client terminal, operators need more flexible, more efficient, and more convenient access. TE 's F-Light connectors provide operators with efficient installation and use flexibility.

TE's new generation of single-mode fiber field quick-install connector F-Light can be widely used in fiber-optic transmission networks. F-Light connectors match standard SC/UPC and SC/APC fiber optic connectors and are the ideal solution for fast field installation in FTTx.

F-Light is suitable for conventional fiber optic cable G652D and G657A fiber. The single product can be compatible with a variety of fiber optic cables, such as Ø3mm round cable and 2*3mm 8-shaped leather cable, and has the cable tensile strength superior to the general products in the market. It has simple and reliable installation features, and requires no special tools, no glue injection and grinding during the installation process. It can be reused to match the standard SC adapter and is RoHS compliant. In addition, the stripping tool is compatible with mainstream cutting knives and is easy to operate, allowing quick access to specific lengths of fiber.

Simon Chuang, senior product manager of the Asia-Pacific region of the TE Telecom Network Division, said: "The F-Light connector uses pre-embedded fiber technology to achieve mechanical connection of the fiber. It can be easily and quickly terminated without special tools. The average installation completion time is less than 1 minute. Therefore, F-Light is a flexible and efficient access solution for operators in the FTTx network layout."
