View of the KeyQuick splice

This universal mechanical splice from KeyQuick10 series is used to terminate a single-mode optical fiber with SC/UPC connector without time-consuming gluing and polishing. The operation does no require "sterile" conditions, because the end face of the built-in fiber fragment (G.657A) has been glued and polished by the manufacturer. The low loss at the level of 0.1 dB is obtained thanks to advanced positioning of the inserted fiber end by V-shaped grooves. The optical gel that is also used in the connector reduces the effects of an imprecise cut and a possible gap between the end faces of the fibers.

The design versatility of the KeyQuick10 connections allows termination of 3 mm / 2 mm / 0.9 mmm / 0.25 mm single-mode fiber optic cables without the use of expensive tools and maintaining laboratory accuracy. They are equipped with adapter tubes.

One of the most important and unique design solutions is the transparent body of the connector. After connecting Visual Fault Locator L5933, it allows the installer to verify directly whether the connection is made in a proper way. No red light in the splice area means a perfect connection.

Quick assembly connectors are suitable for terminating optical lines instead of traditional, glued connectors, e.g. used in distribution and termination boxes in buildings. Due to the high transmission parameters, they can be widely used in telecommunications networks, FTTH solutions, video surveillance systems, MAN and WAN backbones.

The connectors and mechanical splices of KeyQuick series are fully compatible with international standards, IEC 61753-1 and Telcordia GR-326.
