OptiTap® Field-Installable Connector

OptiSnap™; connectors have long been associated with industry-leading deployment speed of fiber to the people, and now these connectors are field-installable for fast emergency restoration.

With proven field-installable connector technology, fiber terminations using the OptiSnap™ connector system are fast, easy and reliable. Corning high-precision mechanical splice technology enables fiber optic networks to be installed quickly and cost effectively.

The Corning go/no-go feedback signal allows the installer to verify that the installation is performed right the first time, every time. Insert the fiber, activate the cam and watch the pass/fail light illuminate, instilling confidence in every connector installed.

The factory-polished ceramic ferrule provides superior quality for end-face geometry. The OptiTap field-installable connector is available for ROC™ 900 μm and SST-Drop™ cables using the OptiSnap® 250 μm APC connector, offering you a higher grade of performance for your field terminations. With a decrease in installation time and low insertion loss, the OFIC system provides a good alternative to fusion splicing. Installation is as easy as strip, clean, cleave, cam, and crimp.
