Connector and Splice Loss: Measures and documents field-installed connectors and mid span mechanical or fusion splices. This allows the installer to determine whether a splice or connector is acceptable or needs to be reworked.
Available with up to 48 SC UPC or APC connections, as well as a splice-only configuration for up to 144 single fusion splices or 576 ribbon fibres with mass fusion, the new enclosure can also be coupled with accessories, such as the slack storage conduit skirt or telescoping skirt.
Typically, fusion splices and to some extent mechanical splices are used where the need to frequently connect and disconnect is not a requirement.
Available in specification--or standard-grade formats, the enclosure is compatible with the company's range of fiber pak/adapter plates loaded with SC, ST, LC and MT-RJ adapters, as well as a universal splice tray for both mechanical and fusion splices.--Molex
