Panduit has announced OmniSplice, its entry into the fusion-spliced fiber optic connector market. Panduit says OmniSplice is designed to deliver fast, reliable fiber optic terminations for enterprise and data center applications, and that it is compatible with common fusion splice machines.

According to Panduit, OmniSplice protects the splice point inside the connector body, eliminating the need for additional components and labor associated with pigtails. Panduit also says OmniSplice uses pre-cleaved fiber stubs and an “innovative holder design” intended to speed up terminations.

For deployment scenarios, Panduit positions OmniSplice for expanding fiber builds “deeper into enterprise LANs and data center edge applications,” where it says demand is increasing for fast, reliable, user-friendly fusion splicing.

“OmniSplice is a fresh take on a well-known, rapidly growing technology,” said Seamus Hamrin, Product Manager, Fiber Optic Solutions at Panduit. “We looked at ways to improve the process through precision and user-focused improvements with the goal of providing quality terminations, done fast, with maximum results to create value and efficiency for our customers.”
