FC SM MM Fiber Optic Connector For Fiber Optic Patchcord or Pigtail
Description
Optical Connector is a reusable passive component which could be
applied in fiber and Cable connection. They are widely used in ODF,
ODN,PON etc.
The FC was the first optical fiber connector to use a ceramic
ferrule, but unlike the plastic bodied SC and LC, it utilizes a
round screw-type fitment made from nickel-plated or stainless
steel. The connector end face relies on an alignment key for
correct insertion and is then tightened into the adaptor/jack using
a threaded collet. Despite the additional complexity both in
manufacturing and installation, it’s still the connector of choice
for precise measuring equipment such as OTDRs.
Initially intended for datacoms and telecoms applications, its use
has reduced since the introduction of the SC and LC. These deliver
similar performance to the FC but both have less expensive
components and are quicker to connect. However, the screw-on collet
of the FC does make it particularly effective in high vibration
environments, ensuring that the spring-loaded ferrule is firmly
mated.
