METZ CONNECT 1509QKEA0010-E SC OS2 Green Single-Mode Field-Installable Connector, 10-Pack

Field termination of single-mode fibre often demands expensive tooling, epoxy, and polishing—until now. The METZ CONNECT 1509QKEA0010-E quick-assembly SC connector eliminates those barriers, enabling fast, reliable, low-loss terminations directly on site. With its green housing and APC polish, it is purpose-built for high-performance FTTx, LAN, data centre, and telecommunication links where return loss and ease of installation are critical.

Who is it for

Network installers, telecom technicians, and data centre engineers who need to terminate OS2 single-mode fibre quickly without sacrificing optical performance. Ideal for both repair and new installations, especially where fusion splicing is impractical or too costly.

Tips

For best results, ensure the fibre end face is clean and cleaved at a precise 90° angle before insertion. Use the included wedge clip to secure 3.0 mm jacketed cables. Store unused connectors in the provided protective caps to prevent contamination of the pre-polished ferrule.
