FASTConnect are factory pre-polished, fi eld-installable connectors that completely eliminate the need for hand polishing in the fi eld. Proven mechanical splice technology ensuring precision fi ber alignment, a factory pre-cleaved fi ber stub and a proprietary index-matching gel combine to offer an immediate low loss termination to either single-mode or multimode optical fi bers. FAST Connectors are compatible with 250 µm and 900 µm optical fi bers, as well as 900 µm, 2 mm and 3 mm cordage. All primary fi ber types are supported, and each connector is color coded per industry standard requirements to aide in identifi cation during and after installation. A factory-installed wedge clip (included with each connector) is removed and discarded upon completion of the termination. Incorporated into this device is an innovative, translucent wedge enabling the use of a common VFI to provide a "pass/fail" signal once physical contact is achieved.
