FC SM/MM Connector Kits


Description

The FC connector is used extensively in the telecommunications market, where long single mode optical fiber cables can run upwards of 50km.  In these extreme situations the connector needs to have extremely low loss and accurate geometry. The Optronics FC Optical Fiber connector comprises of a nickel plated brass body and a ceramic ferrule/spring/crimp barrel assembly plus a crimp over sleeve and rubber boot.  These connectors are suitable for 900µm and 2mm and 3mm cables. The connector is precision made and manufactured to demanding specifications. The combination of a ceramic ferrule and a precision nickel plated brass housing provides consistent long-term mechanical and optical performance. The Optronics FC connector is available in Single mode PC and APC versions as well as multi mode
