VERTICAL CABLE 263-OSP SERIES – OPTICAL FIBER SPLICE-ON PLUGS

The 263-OSP Series Optical Fiber Splice-On Plugs are mechanical, field-installable connectors designed for fast and reliable fiber terminations. Available in multiple fiber classes, including singlemode (UPC/APC) and multimode (OM1/OM3), these connectors support both 900 µm buffered fibers and 2–3 mm tight-buffered cables. Featuring a factory pre-polished ferrule and a precision “V” groove alignment system, they ensure consistent performance with minimal installation time.

KEY FEATURES

Here’s what makes the 263-OSP Series Optical Fiber Splice-On Plugs ideal for fiber termination applications:

• Multiple Fiber Compatibility: Supports singlemode UPC, singlemode APC, and multimode OM1/OM3 fiber types.

• SC and LC Connector Options: Available in both SC and LC formats to match common network requirements.

• Factory Pre-Polished Ferrules: Ensures consistent optical performance and reduces installation complexity.

• Fast Mechanical Termination: Typical termination time of approximately 15 seconds (excluding fiber preparation).

• “V” Groove Alignment Mechanism: Provides precise fiber alignment for low insertion loss and reliable connections.

• Wide Cable Compatibility: Supports 900 µm buffered fiber and 2–3 mm tight-buffered round cables.

• High Performance Ratings: Low insertion loss and high return loss for dependable signal integrity.

• Reusable Design: Can be reused multiple times for added flexibility during installation.

• High Durability: Rated for over 1000 mating cycles for long-term reliability.

• 12-Pack Convenience: Packaged for efficient deployment in bulk installations.

APPLICATIONS

The 263-OSP Series Optical Fiber Splice-On Plugs are ideal for a wide range of fiber termination scenarios:

• Field Terminations: Quickly terminate fiber cables on-site without fusion splicing.

• FTTx Installations: Support fiber-to-the-home and fiber-to-the-building deployments.

• Data Centers: Enable rapid fiber connections for patching and equipment integration.

• Telecommunications Networks: Provide reliable terminations in backbone and distribution systems.

• Repair & Maintenance: Replace or repair fiber connectors without specialized splicing equipment.

WHY CHOOSE THE 265-OSC10-04804 OSP SPLICE CLOSURE?

Professionals choose the 263-OSP Series Optical Fiber Splice-On Plugs because they deliver fast installation, consistent performance, and versatile compatibility. Here are five reasons to specify them:

1. Fast Installation – Mechanical termination enables quick field installation without fusion splicing.

2. Broad Compatibility – Supports multiple fiber types and cable sizes for flexible deployments.

3. Reliable Performance – Factory pre-polished ferrules and precision alignment ensure consistent results.

4. Reusable Design – Allows multiple uses, reducing waste and installation costs.
