FC Connectors & Adapters Features & Benefits • Designed to NTT-FC* standards • One-piece body design - Reduces termination time - Field installable - essentially preassembled Pre-polished ceramic ferrules - Minimum polishing needed - Maintains endface geometry, - physical contact Low insertion loss: < .34 dB TYP MM < .17 dB TYP MM enhanced < .15 dB TYP SM Applications • Telecommunication networks • CATV networks • Active device termination • Instrumentation • • FC fiber optic connectors are specifically designed for telecommunication applications. The Molex FC connector series is designed to NTT-FC standards and provides true non-optical disconnect performance. They are fully compatible with existing FC hardware. The pre-assembled, one-piece body design and the pre-polished ferrules provide quick and economical terminations both in factory and in-the-field settings. Also, with the pre-polished ferrule and the Molex termination method, a uniform endface geometry is ensured, resulting in consistent optical performance. Connector mating is achieved by using bulkhead feed-through adapters. These adapters combine a metal housing and either a precision zirconia ceramic or a rugged phosphor bronze sleeve. Flange mount or “D” hole mount adapter styles are available. *NTT-FC is a trademark of NTT Advanced Technology Corporation Optical Performance Distribution Insertion Loss Performance (MM Enhanced ferrule, 62.5/125µm fiber) 20 18 16 Insertion Loss Performance (SM ferrule, 9/125µm fiber) 40 Avg.: 0.17 dB Std.
