VERTICAL CABLE 263-OSP SERIES – OPTICAL FIBER SPLICE-ON PLUGS
The 263-OSP Series Optical Fiber Splice-On Plugs are mechanical, field-installable connectors designed for fast and reliable fiber terminations. Available in multiple fiber classes, including singlemode (UPC/APC) and multimode (OM1/OM3), these connectors support both 900 µm buffered fibers and 2–3 mm tight-buffered cables. Featuring a factory pre-polished ferrule and a precision “V” groove alignment system, they ensure consistent performance with minimal installation time.
