The fusion splice-on connector has many types such as SC, LC, ST and FC, consisting of ferrule assembly, protected fiber stub of defined length, housing, stop ring, protection sleeve, boot and so on. Below figure shows the structure and its components.

The typical loss of the physical contact mated in the adapter can be 0.1 dB. Fusion splicing attenuation is typically 0.02 dB, and maximum is 0.05 dB. Therefore total expected loss is in the range of 0.12 dB to 0.15 dB. Expected return loss is over 55dB (UPC) and over 60dB (APC) respectively. It can be adapted to analog networks (≥55dB) with no signal interference and no noise. Types of the alignment methods are IPAAS Core, Fixed V-groove and Active clad. Most importantly, fiber angles and cleaved fiber ends can be seen on the fusion splicer while splicing and the splicing point can be protected with heat shrinkable tubes.
