You’re looking at ≤0.3dB insertion loss, which basically means we’ve seen these outperform many pre-polished alternatives in field tests—especially with the ≥55dB return loss on APC, that’s where you get the quiet signal for CATV or longer runs without that ghost reflection nonsense.

It handles -40°C to +75°C, so unless you’re wiring up an industrial freezer or a rooftop in Dubai, the thermal range isn’t your bottleneck—most buyers go with the zinc alloy housing for physicall stress environments, plastic is fine for patch panels where it won’t get kicked.

Ferrule is precision ceramic, not the cheap composite stuff that wears out after a few matings—and we’ve seen field techs get terminations under a minute with the SC/APC quick connector, though the cable diameter (0.9mm, 2.0mm, or 3.0mm) needs matching or you’ll fight clamp.

We usually stock the 2.0mm and 3.0mm variants, lead time is 10-15 working days or so if we’re out of teh 0.9mm—but check the MOQ because sometimes we batch orders, and Telcordia/IEC compliance is standerd so you don’t need to request it seprately.

It’s not great for multimode, obviously—the single-mode design will work but you’ll lose that return loss advantage—and anyway, for telecom or network gear termination, the 3.0mm cable version is easier to handle in the field.

Packging comes in sealed bulk bags, usually 50 units per bag, and we include a COA with each order—though if you need individual blister packs for job site organization, just say so when ordering.
We support 0.9mm, 2.0mm, and 3.0mm diameters as standard. Custom sizes aren't typically offered since these cover most field installations, but let us know your specific need and we'll check feasibility.
The MOQ is usually 100 pieces per model. For smaller trial orders, we can sometimes accommodate 50 pieces, but that depends on stock levels.
Yes, we include Telcordia and IEC compliance reports with every batch. RoHS certification is also available on request—just let your sales contact know before shipping.
Zinc alloy is more rugged and better for high-vibration environments or frequent mating cycles. Plastic is lighter and cheaper, fine for indoor patch panels where physical stress is low.
For 500 pieces, lead time is around 7-10 working days if the ferrule and housing materials are in stock. Custom housing colors could add 3-5 days.
