One-piece body design:
CATV networks
- Minimizes termination time
- Field installable
Precision APC ferrule provides
superior performance:
- Insertion loss < .25 dB typical
- Return loss > 60 dB typical
Standard SC adapters:
- NTT-SC standard
- Zirconia ceramic and phosphor bronze
sleeves
Shuttered adapters:
- Shield against exposure to laser radiation
- Dust cover for unused fiber channels
The Molex SC/APC connector combines a Telcordia and IEC tested connector design with a uniquely precise, pre-angled,
pre-radiused, and pre-polished Angled Physical Contact (APC) ferrule. The result is an APC connector with superior insertion
and return loss performance.
Ferrule endface geometry is especially critical in angled fiber optic connectors.
unique polishing process which in addition to putting an 8 degree angle on the
this endface geometry, physical contact of the fibers is maintained, ensuring a
loss. Combining this pre-polished ferrule with the preassembled 1-piece body
APC connector that is easy to terminate both in the factory and in the field.
For this reason, Molex has developed a
ferrules, also provides a 10mm radius. With
minimum insertion loss and a maximum return
design has produced a superior performance
A shield against exposure to laser radiation and a barrier to dust contamination are 2 features of a series of shuttered SC
adapters. These adapters are equipped with a spring loaded shutter which automatically closes when a connector is
removed from the adapter. Both the shuttered and the standard SC adapter styles are available with either zirconia ceramic or
phosphor bronze alignment sleeves.
