Easy Fiber is an innovative system that allows you to make top quality fiber optic connections quickly and easily. The idea behind Easy Fiber system is to pre-install on the patchcord NOT the entire SC/APC connector but ONLY its main component, the zirconia ferrule: in the factory the optical fiber is epoxied into the ferrule and then lapped at 8° angle. In this way the optical patchcord, thus connectorized, maintains the same footprint and the same threading capacity of the cable without connector.

The reinforcing filler of the optical patchcord (kevlar) is used as a pulling system, thus avoiding any possibility of collapse of the same in the vicinity of tight curves and preserving the integrity of the fiber: the rubber tail embedded on the ferrule holder and the cable sheath partially superimposed on the rubber tail protect the fiber in all points of discontinuity; there is also a PVC sheath for protecting the ferrule during the installation of both the patchcord and the remaining parts of the connector.

The patchcord is pre-engraved on two opposite sides to allow all installers to unsheathe the cable simply by pulling the two edges of the sheath for the necessary length; in this way any excess of cable can be stripped off to reduce its footprint (for example, with a 2.5 mm diameter cable and 900 µm fiber, the overall size is considerably reduced when the sheath of the cable is stripped away).

Two kits, each one containing the remaining mechanical parts of the connector to be mounted in the field after the threading phase, are provided in the patchcord packaging.

The Easy Fiber patchcoard, not being made of conductive material can be easily installed in small conduits, even in the presence of other cables (signal and energy).
