Technical Information

SC Connector
An abbreviation for Subscription Channel connector. Originally developed by NTT®, a push- pull type of optical connector that features high packing density, low loss, low back reflection, and low cost. The duplex SC connector uses the same mating profile as the simplex design. The SC connectors are designed and manufactured in accordance with EIA/TIA and ANSI specifications for intermateability and optical performance.

Components & Assembly
Unless otherwise stated, all optical cable assemblies use either ceramic ferrules or MT ferrules based on NTT's form factor polished with a proprietary termination process.

• 100% microscopic inspection of face at 400X
• 100% insertion loss and return loss testing for each ferrule
• Loss and back-reflection data supplied with assembly (where applicable)
• Precision end face geometry process-verified by interferometric measurement of apex offset, concentricity, radius and fiber protrusion

Features

• Factory assembled in controlled conditions
• End-face geometry inspection using latest interferometric techniques
• Assemblies tested using EXFO automated bench-top insertion loss and back reflection test methods
• Cable construction: Corning, OFNR, 3.0mm jacket
• SC Connector Features:
• Square push-pull latching
• Molded housing
• 2.5mm ferrule
• Ceramic and polymer ferrules available
• UPC and APC polish available
