CARROLLTON, Texas: UCL Swift’s strategy for growth in the U.S. takes another step forward as it launches its line of domestically manufactured fiber optic fusion splice-on connectors. Utilizing the manufacturing capabilities of its co-located division, UCL Connections, UCL Swift North America can now produce its high-quality fusion splice-on connectors at its facility in Carrollton, Texas.

Currently, LC and SC connector models with either OM4 multimode or OS2 singlemode fiber are manufactured at UCL Connections. UCL Swift intends to expand its domestically made product offering in the very near future. Brad Everette, General Manager for UCL Swift North America, said, “This project has been several years in the making. The increase in demand for U.S.-made products is timely, and we are very excited about assisting our customers with that need. Our domestic manufacturing division, UCL Connections, has years of experience producing U.S.-made copper and fiber optic cable assemblies. UCL Swift expects to manufacture more fiber optic fusion splice-on connectors domestically in the future.”

Alex Ybarra, QA Manager for UCL Connections, added, “We have worked with our local Chamber of Commerce and the Texas Department of Agriculture to ensure compliance with manufacturing requirements. UCL Connections’ ISO processes are utilized to provide certificates of origin for customers requiring documentation related to projects.”

Certification of U.S. manufacture is available for these products.
