SC/APC Connectors & Adapters Features & Benefits • • • Connector design: NTT-SC* standard Applications • Telecommunication networks • • 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. *NTT-SC is a trademark of NTT Advanced Technology Corporation Optical Performance Distribution Insertion Loss Performance (SM, APC ferrule, 9/125µm fiber) 30 90 Return Loss Performance (9/125µm fiber measured at 1550mm) 25 Avg.: 0.25 dB Std.
