308 Series SC
connector products are
designed and manufactured
to meet JIS, IEC EIA/TIA and ANSI
specifications for intermateability and
optical performance. This Methode
SC connector features a unique grip
housing and a pre-assembled plug
body for easy termination.
The duplex clip positions two SC
connector ferrules on 0.5” (12.7mm)
centers. The duplex configuration is
compliant with ANSI X3T11 Fibre
Channel specifications.
This Methode SC connector has
unsurpassed float and duplex
plugging characteristics. Our 308
Series SC connectors are installed
using Methode 900 Series universal
termination tooling and consumables.
The Universal Polishing Disk can
handle up to four (4) simplex SC plugs
at one time. When combined with the
Methode Quick-Cure™ adhesive
system, connector termination takes
less than two (2) minutes.
