How It Works — the drop end that stays outside
The last connector on an FTTH drop lives outdoors, and a bare SC in the weather is a callback waiting. KW-08 puts the field-assembly SC — the same pre-polished joint as KW-01 — inside a sealed MINI SC hardened housing: terminate the drop, close the shell, and the connection is IP68 with its cap tethered for the next visit.
Order by polish and by the cable you run: round 2.0, 3.0 or 5.0 mm, or flat 2×3, 2×1.6 or 2×5 mm. A hot-melt inner-connector version is in range when the crew prefers to fuse. The larger hardened interface is KW-09.
