How It Works — a fused LC, made to length
KW-05 is the splice-on route to an LC end: the 0.9 mm field fiber is fusion-welded to the connector stub and sealed with the shrink sleeve, giving LC density with factory-grade optics and a cord length decided on site, not in a catalogue.
It is the natural partner to our SD-series splicers and to the LC fast connector KW-02 — same interface, two ways to terminate, chosen by whether a splicer is on the job.
