Description
The FC/APC Epoxy Fiber Optic Connector is specifically engineered for high-density telecommunications and long-haul network applications. Featuring a threaded-coupling mechanism, it provides a secure, vibration-proof connection and reliable non-optical disconnect performance.
The precision-manufactured ceramic ferrule features an 8-degree angled (APC) pre-radius end-face, ensuring ultra-low back reflection and maximum signal integrity. Its pre-domed design allows for efficient, high-yield results whether using machine or hand polishing.
Features
- Superior Optical Performance. Extremely low insertion loss (≤0.20 dB) and ultra-low back reflection (>65 dB).
- Telecom Standard. Fully complies with Telcordia GR-326-CORE and RoHS environmental specifications.
- Durable Construction. Corrosion-resistant nickel-plated metal body ensures long-term mechanical stability.
- Easy Assembly. One-piece design with a pre-domed ceramic ferrule simplifies the epoxy injection and crimping process.
- Flexible Options. Available with either a fixed key or tunable (activity) key to meet precise alignment requirements.
- Perfect Fit. Specifically designed with a green 0.9mm (900µm) boot, ideal for tight buffer fibers.
