What is Field assembly connector (FAOC)？

A Field Assembly Connector (FAOC), also known as a fast connector, is a type of connector used in optical fiber installations. It is designed for quick assembly and stable performance in the field.

Field assembly connector (FAOC)s are pre-embedded fiber type connectors that can be installed and connected in the field. The field fast connectors are widely used in situations where a quick connection is needed, such as peer-to-peer installations, field installations, or repairs.

What are the types of field assembly connectors?

Field assembly connectors are available in

·SC, LC, or FC variants,
·Accommodate 250um to 900um, and 2.0mm, 3.0mm diameters cables
·Single mode and multimode fiber types.
·Available with UPC or APC ferrules.

Main advantage of Field assembly connectors?

A Field assembly connector

·Eliminates the necessity for pre-assembled patch cords.
·Connection is made directly by you, in the field.
·Adjustable length of cable.
·Adjustable standard of head SC, LC, APC, UPC. 
·Absence of polishing in the field.

All This is achieved through proven mechanical splice technology ensuring precision fiber alignment, a factory pre-cleaved fiber stub, and a proprietary index-matching gel.

Field assembly FTTH connectors are already a popular solution for optical wiring inside buildings and floors for LAN & CCTV applications and with the expansion of FTTH, they are proving to be the connector of choice by incumbents, municipalities, utilities & alternative carriers.

What are the application scenarios of Field assembly connector (FAOC)?

·ODN Networks FTTH, FTTR, FTTA
·Video surveillance
·Fiber optic cable networks

What is the role of Field assembly connector (FAOC) in fiber optic installation?

Field assembly connector (FAOC) is designed for quick assembly and stable performance in the field, which is useful in situations where quick connections are required, such as point-to-point installation, field installation or repair. In addition, proven mechanical splice technology is utilized to ensure precise fiber alignment, greatly reducing losses in optical waveguide components and optical coupling alignment, thereby improving the efficiency and performance of fiber installations. Field assembly connector (FAOC) has now become a popular solution for fiber optic cabling in buildings and floors for LAN and CCTV applications. As FTTH expands, Field assembly connector (FAOC) is proving to be the connector of choice for incumbents, municipalities, utilities and alternative operators.

How does Drop cable FTTH fast connector eliminate the need for manual polishing on site?

1. Arrange for a FAOC to assemble
2. insert screw cap into drop fiber cable
3. Strip the coating of optic cable over 45mm
4. Cut off the fiber at the length of 12mm using cleaver
5. Insert optic cable into the fiber guide on the boot until you see a slight bend in the cable
6. Keep the cable bending with right hand, push the connecting holder forward to the end to fix the fiber core.
7. Take the boot cover down, connect the screw cap with boot by turning it
8. Turn the protrusion of housing toward the bottom and unite it to the body

Field assembly connector (FAOC) eliminates the need for manual polishing in the field by pre-cutting the fiber, prefabricating the fiber end-faces, using proven mechanical splicing technology and using a proprietary index-matching gel.

Why is Field assembly connector (FAOC) considered the connector of choice in FTTH extensions?

Fast connector FAOC is regarded as the preferred connector in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) expansion and is widely used in FTTH network cabling. The most important reason for this is that FAOC, as a passive device and the transmission advantage of supporting large broadband, is very suitable for the long-distance use of passive network FTTH. In addition, FAOC's flexibility, convenience, ease of maintenance and installation are also crucial for FTTH network cabling.
