Optix 1XSOCHolder-A is an SOC Holder for 1X 900um Splice-on Connectors on INNO and FiberFox Splicers. The Optix specialized holders are designed for their traditional 1X splice-on connectors. The appropriate holder enables the connectors to splice easily on ALL major fusion splicer brands including AFL, Sumitomo, Fitel, INNO, Fiberfox, and UCL Swift (Ilsintech). All connector styles (LC, SC, ST, and FC) work with each holder, so just drop the connector body into the holder that is placed in the fusion splicer and splice it. Utilizing gravity to keep the connector in the correct position, our holders eliminate the extra step of having to secure the connector with a hinged door as other typical holder styles, thus saving time. Additionally, the patented "ridge" built into the holder allows for the fusion splicer to run the 2.2N mechanical pull test without the connector popping out and breaking - another common problem with other holders. Our holder allows a fast and consistent field termination of the Optix 1X splice-on connector in less than two minutes.
