Overview

The Sumitomo Lynx2 CustomFit is a next-generation splice-on fiber optic connector designed to revolutionize field terminations. This innovative solution eliminates the complexity and time delays associated with traditional pre-terminated cables, offering customized, on-site terminations at exact lengths for FTTx, outside-plant, and inside-plant permanent installations.

Key Advantages

∙ Complete connectorization in less than 3 minutes
∙ No crimping process required (4.8mm SC connectors eliminate crimp tools entirely)
∙ No hand polishing or index matching gels needed
∙ Instant splice loss feedback for quality assurance
∙ Simple screw-on collar design secures Kevlar and jacket
∙ Exceptional insertion and return loss characteristics
∙ SMF: 0.15dB average insertion loss, 0.3dB maximum
∙ MMF: 0.10dB average insertion loss, 0.25dB maximum
∙ Return Loss: >65dB (APC), >55dB (UPC) for SMF; >30dB (PC) for MMF
∙ Consistent, reliable, and unprecedented accuracy in connectorization
∙ Eliminates inventory costs for splice trays and varying lengths of pre-terminated jumpers
∙ Reduces logistic delays and excess slack management
∙ No expensive crimping tools required
∙ Minimizes waste from shorts and excess cable
