The SC/APC Field Installable Fast Connector is a revolutionary solution for fiber optic network installations, designed specifically for Fiber To The Home (FTTH) applications. This innovative connector eliminates the need for epoxy and polishing, significantly reducing installation time while maintaining superior optical performance.
This connector features a patented mechanical splice design with a factory-mounted fiber stub and pre-polished ceramic ferrule, ensuring consistent high-quality connections in field conditions. The unique design allows for termination of cables to exact required lengths, providing flexibility in optical wiring design for various network architectures.
Key advantages include easy operation with guide rail tools, high success rate of installation (≥99%), and the ability to be reopened up to 5 times for adjustments. The connector is compatible with various cable types including 0.9mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm round cables and 2.0×3.0mm flat drop cables, making it versatile for different installation scenarios.
The SC/APC Fast Connector delivers exceptional optical performance with insertion loss ≤0.3dB and return loss ≥60dB at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. Its robust construction provides tensile strength exceeding 30N and operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +70°C.
With a normal service life of 30 years and reusability of ≥50 times, this connector offers long-term reliability for FTTH networks, LAN applications, and CCTV installations. The compact design (57mm length) ensures easy handling and installation in confined spaces.
