Molex Quasar OptiX Field Mountable Connectors
Molex Quasar OptiX Field Mountable Connectors enable field installers to easily fit factory-polished connectors to optical cables in extreme outdoor environments. These connectors feature a high fiber retention force that maintains constant connectivity, ensuring improved signal strength and network integrity. Quasar OptiX connectors simplify requirements for the on-site installation of fiber optic cables, and unlike fusion splicing operations, the terminations can be worked on in exposed areas in bad weather. Molex Quasar OptiX Field Mountable Connectors are suitable for networking, telecommunications, and wireless infrastructure.
