Vertical Cable Splice-on Plugs – Mechanical SM SC | 263-OSP Series

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.
