Fiber optic blue fast connectors, also known as pre-polished or field-installable connectors, are used to quickly and easily terminate fiber optic cables without the need for epoxy, polishing, or curing. The blue color typically indicates a Singlemode SC (Subscriber Connector) connector with a UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish.
