OpDAT FASTTM Hybrid – field installable multimode and singlemode fiber optic connector with Opto-Elast

Product catalog summary
Overview: The OpDAT FASTTM Hybrid is a field-installable fiber optic connector designed for both multimode and singlemode applications. It features a new hybrid technology that ensures stable transmission values without the need for gluing, polishing, or special tools. The connector is suitable for FTTH, FITH, and industrial environments, particularly in areas with limited space or difficult access.
Specifications: The connector is available in LC and SC types with APC, UPC, and PC polishing options. It supports fiber diameters of 0.25, 0.9, 2.0, and 3.0 mm. The insertion loss ranges from 0.2 to 0.5 dB, and return loss values exceed 50 dB for UPC and 60 dB for APC polishing.
Technology: The hybrid technology combines conventional refractive index gel with Opto-Elast, enhancing light transfer stability. The fibers are cut at an angle to improve return loss, achieving over 60 dB for APC connectors.
Installation: The connector can be assembled in less than two minutes and up to three times. A maintenance-free cleaver is included, capable of 200 uses, ensuring high return loss values.
Accessories: The package includes a cleaver set, fiber guide, and optional fiber optic tool bag. Additional tools like aramid scissors, red light source, and cleaning supplies are available.
Applications: The connector is ideal for structured cabling, field repairs, and direct mounting on components. It is designed for use with various cable types, including breakout, patch cord, and industry cables.
Technical Data: The connector complies with IEC 61754-4 and TIA/EIA 604 standards. It operates within a temperature range of -25° to +70°C, depending on the cable type.
Contact Information: METZ CONNECT has offices in the USA, France, Austria, China, Hong Kong, and Germany, providing global support and distribution.

METZ CONNECT – OpDAT FAST TM Hybrid Technology The OpDAT FAST TM Hybrid connector offers consistent good insertion loss and return loss values thanks to the new hybrid technology and the angled cut of the fibers inside. The combination of the conventional refractive index gel and the newly developed Opto-Elast was verified in the laboratory and represents the next development step in field installable FO connectors. During assembly, the end of the fiber to be connected is immersed into the refractive index gel and into the Opto Elast, which is applied directly to the pre-installed fiber. The...
