High-Performance Fiber Optic Fast Connectors: Quick Termination for FTTH Networks.
Industrial-Grade Fiber Optic Fast Connectors: Reliable & Instant Field Termination
YingFeng offers industrial-grade Field Assembly Connectors designed for instant, high-performance terminations without fusion splicing. Our Fast Connectors ensure an average Insertion Loss of ≤ 0.2dB, providing a cost-effective and reliable solution for seamless fiber optic connectivity.
The Definitive Guide to Sourcing Fiber Optic Fast Connectors
As a core component in FTTH (Fiber to the Home) deployments, the Fiber Optic Fast Connector (also known as a Field Assembly Connector) allows technicians to terminate fiber links in under 60 seconds without the need for expensive fusion splicing machines. At YingFeng, we provide industrial-grade solutions optimized for both speed and long-term signal integrity.
Key Benefits: Why Field Assembly Connectors?
- Zero Splicing Costs: Eliminate the capital expenditure of fusion splicers and reduce the technical threshold for installation teams.
- Exceptional Time Efficiency: Engineered for “Plug and Play” performance, our connectors reduce the average termination time to less than 1 minute, accelerating project timelines.
- High Precision Alignment: Utilizing high-quality zirconia ferrules, our Quick Connectors ensure consistent physical contact, minimizing signal loss across the network.
Embedded vs. Non-Embedded: Which One Do You Need?
Understanding the internal structure is crucial for large-scale procurement.
- Embedded Fiber Type: Features a factory-pre-polished fiber stub. It offers higher stability and lower insertion loss (≤0.2dB) but requires higher manufacturing precision. Most Tier-1 telecom projects prefer this type for its reliability. Normally fast connectors on the market are embedded type.
- Non-Embedded Type: A direct-link structure where the field fiber meets the ferrule tip directly. It is more budget-friendly and reduces the “double-joint” risk, but requires a high-quality cleaver for on-site preparation.

Market Trends & Expert Tips for Sourcing Fast Connectors
- Dominance of Embedded Type: While various structures exist, Pre-polished (Embedded fiber) fast connectors are the current industry standard. They offer the most stable optical performance and are the default choice for over 90% of FTTH projects due to their factory-polished ferrule quality.
- Singlemode vs. Multimode: Although we provide both, the global market is heavily focused on Singlemode (OS2). For Multimode applications, we generally recommend factory-pre-terminated patch cords. This is because Multimode links are typically short-distance and have much tighter tolerances for insertion loss, where factory-controlled environments provide far superior reliability compared to field installation.
- Application Focus: Our fast connectors are optimized for Singlemode fiber (G.652 & G.657), ensuring the highest compatibility with mainstream telecommunication infrastructure.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Step 1: Preparation & Precision Cleaving
Slide the boot onto the drop cable. Strip the outer jacket (50-60mm) and use a fiber stripper to remove the buffer coating. Clean the bare fiber with alcohol and perform a precision cut using a Fiber Cleaver to ensure a flat end-face.
Step 2: Insertion & Macro-bend Verification
Insert the fiber vertically into the connector body. Ensure the fiber reaches the pre-polished stub—a slight macro-bend should be visible at the top, confirming that the fiber end-faces are in perfect physical contact.
Step 3: Locking & Final Assembly
Close the back cover and tighten the screw boot to secure the cable. Push the yellow slider forward to lock the fiber in place, then snap on the SC housing. Your high-performance termination is now complete!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are these fast connectors reusable?
Yes, our fast connectors are designed for re-termination. While they are primarily intended for a single, permanent installation to ensure optimal signal integrity, they can typically be reused up to 5 times without significant degradation in performance. This is particularly useful for troubleshooting or correcting installation errors on-site.
Which fiber types are compatible with your field assembly connectors?
Our connectors are universally compatible with standard 2.0mm x 3.0mm FTTH drop cables (butterfly cable) and 2.0mm/3.0mm round cables. We focus on Singlemode (G.652D & G.657A/B) fibers, which cover the vast majority of global telecommunications and FTTX infrastructure projects.
What is the average Insertion Loss (IL) for your SC/APC fast connectors?
At YingFeng, we utilize high-quality zirconia ferrules and precision pre-polished fiber stubs. The average Insertion Loss (IL) is ≤0.2dB, with a maximum limit of 0.5dB. Our APC polished connectors also provide a high Return Loss (RL) of ≥ 55dB, ensuring minimal signal reflection for high-speed GPON/XG-PON networks.
How do you guarantee the quality of bulk orders?
Every single connector undergoes strict quality control before leaving our factory. We conduct 100% optical testing (Insertion Loss & Return Loss) and periodic tensile strength tests in our laboratory. For OEM clients, we can provide detailed batch test reports to ensure the products meet the specific international standards (IEC, TIA/EIA) required for your project.
Do you have fiber optic fast connectors in stock for immediate shipping?
We maintain a continuous production cycle for our most popular models (such as SC/APC and SC/UPC embedded types) and typically keep a ready-to-ship inventory to meet urgent project needs. However, stock levels fluctuate daily based on ongoing wholesale orders. If you require fast delivery, please contact our sales team immediately to confirm current availability and reserve your stock.
