Looking at the market, one point that deserves our attention is the transparent body (see explanatory drawings), which allows the installer to check the quality of the connection simply by looking at the KeyQuick® Mechanical Splice using a Visual Fault Locator (Verification Laser).
Installation time is really short, the average splicing time of the two fibers is 30 seconds (with the fiber prepared) and it is accessible to anyone.

The KeyQuick® Mechanical Splice is based on a V-groove into which the fibers are positioned until they are locked by pressing the locking buttons, thus completing the process.
Features:
- Optical fibers: 250µm or 900µm
- Process time: 30 seconds with prepared fiber
- Insertion loss: 0.1 dB
- Return loss (dB), typical: -60
- Tensile strength (N), typical: 5N
- Temperature range (°C): -40 to +75
- Materials: High-performance industrial plastic & Index matching gel (IMG)
- No sanding or special tools required.
- V-groove technology.
