AFL Telecommunications’ EndLight™ Low Back Reflection Termination minimizes back reflections in Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks, optical measurement and transmission equipment, and fiber optic sensors.

Back reflections are known to degrade the performance of many types of fiber optic systems, including analog video, high speed digital, and sensor systems. The EndLight™ termination effectively eliminates back reflections to undetectable levels on most measurement equipment. It is ideal for inclusion in back-reflection sensitive equipment such as splitter-based PON (passive optical network) systems. It can also be used in optical test and transmission equipment and various types of sensor systems.

The termination is available as a refillable software option for use with the FSM-40F or FSM-40PM fusion splicer. The product and manufacturing method are patent-pending.
