Hardened Fusion Splice-On Connector
Fully Compatible OptiTap® Style Hardened Solution
The Swift HDC Connector provides the highest quality standards-based field-installable connector for hardened optical applications. This field-installable hardened solution is ideal for both new installations and emergency repairs and eliminates inventoried products in warehouses and on tech vehicles, reducing SKU’s and improving cash flow. The elimination of slack storage boxes reduces slack storage challenges and provides neatly organized cables on the pole that use only the cable you need.
5 applicable cables: 5.8 mm drop cable, 5.0 mm crop cable, 5.4 x 3.0 mm ROC drop cable, 8.1 x 4.5 mm SST drop cable
