fiber optic fc pc connector

The FC connector is used extensively in the telecommunications market, where long singlemode optical fibre cables can run upwards of 50km. In these extreme situations, the connector needs to have very low losses and accurate geometry.

The  FC connector has a screw thread fitting into the adapter to provide a secure connection. The FC connector is comprised 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, 2mm and 3mm cable. The connector is precision made and manufactured to demanding specifications. The combination of a ceramic ferrule with precision nickel plated brass housing provides consistent,long-term mechanical and optical performance.
