Optical Network Products and Connectivity

Customized field terminations are now made possible with the next generation Lynx2 CustomFit® Splice-on Connector by Sumitomo. The Lynx2 is a fully integratable splice-on fiber optic connector enabling quick, easy, and reliable customized FTTx, outside-plant, and inside-plant permanent field terminations. The splice-on connector is ideal also for central office, fiber hub/pedestal, and data center applications. The latest design of the Lynx2 features a fast and easy to use screw-on collar to secure the Kevlar and jacket, eliminating the crimping process and the use of high priced crimping tools.

Sumitomo Electric Lightwave offers the broadest configurations of optical splitters in the industry, including our unique 12-fiber output ribbons that facilitate mass fusion splicing and the fastest installation available.  Our vast and various configurations allow for flexible integration into the passive fiber optic network. The small size of the optical splitters allows for easy deployment in standard splice trays and closures. Single output fibers may be spliced at time of service provisioning, giving the installer control and flexibility.

Sumitomo’s Lynx2–MPO is the industry’s first MPO fusion splice-on field installable connector for customized, on-site, terminations. The breakthrough technology of the Lynx2–MPO meets the needs of the network for greater optical fiber density and addresses the connectivity demands for faster and easier terminations, upgrades, repairs and restorations, and significant cost savings required for today’s data center, enterprise network, outside plant, OEM, central office, and virtually any FTTx network application.

Quick SC and Quick LC connectors enable easy and fast fiber termination in the field. A Sumitomo Electric innovation that has taken mechanical connectors to new heights of dependability, reliability, and performance.

The Lynx2–MPO CustomFit® Splice-On Connector, an industry first innovation by Sumitomo Electric, is a revolutionary solution for customized, on-site cable builds and terminations with the speed and performance required for the bandwidth-rich and high density demands of today’s networks. With the Lynx2–MPO, eliminate the risk of shorts & slack and the logistic delays of preterminated cables; make obsolete the need for splice trays; reduce congestion in rack or cabinet space; and save significant time and costs in material and labor associated with other connectivity methods.

Specifically designed for the exceptional performance, flexibility, and reliability requirements demanded by today’s data center and enterprise networks, Sumitomo Electric Lightwave’s fanout cables are the ideal solution for 12 to 48 fiber installations. The round cable facilitates flexibility and easy installation. Learn More
