The BSC and BSCII backplane connector systems have been designed to provide a smooth transition from the board
mounted and pigtailed devices (LED's, lasers, receivers, and WDM devices) to the SC based fiber optic network. Pigtailed
active devices, located anywhere on the daughter card, are terminated to the card edge mounted BSC or BSCII connectors.
These connectors provide a blind mating interface through backplane BSC adapters to the SC network.
The BSC connector family's blind mating interface provides the daughter card with a plug-in feature that allows the card to be
inserted, or exchanged without disrupting the input/output ports or their associated cabling. The BSCII connector, backward
compatible with the original BSC, provides additional float in the Y (±.030") and Z (.080") axis. This increased float, provides
the BSCII with additional capacity to compensate for the imprecision of card cages. For multiple fiber applications, alignment
pins in the housing allow the connectors to be stacked.
BSC / BSCII to standard SC connector mating is accomplished through the BSC / BSCII adapters which are available with
either zirconia ceramic or phosphor bronze sleeves. In addition to the traditional SC style adapter, a shuttered SC version,
which shields against laser exposure and dust contamination, is also available.
