Waterproof Field Assembly Connector Compatible OptiTap SC/APC

The waterproof field-assembly SC/APC connector designed for OptiTap-compatible hardened interfaces, enabling fast aerial FTTH installation with IP67 protection and stable optical performance.

The Waterproof Field Assembly Connector Compatible OptiTap SC/APC is designed for rapid, reliable fiber termination in outdoor FTTH deployments. Built with a robust waterproof housing and OptiTap-style hardened interface, this connector ensures secure mating with OptiTap-compatible terminals and network access points.

Its internal mechanical splice structure and pre-polished SC/APC ferrule allow technicians to complete field assembly without epoxy, curing, or polishing, significantly reducing installation time. With an IP67 waterproof rating, reinforced strain relief, and UV-resistant materials, the connector performs reliably in harsh outdoor environments, including aerial installations, pole mounting, and exposed drop cable runs.

This solution is ideal for ISPs, contractors, and system integrators deploying FTTH networks across regions requiring high durability, fast installation, and OptiTap-compatible connectivity.
