SC/PC, SC/APC; Ferrule Outer Diameter 2.5 mm; Bore Tolerance 0/+4 µm; Crimp 1.6, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 mm

SC (Subscriber Connector) fiber optic cable connectors’ push/pull mechanism allows for quick and easy assembly of the inner frame into the outer housing via snap-in. Combined with a key, the rectangular shape of the connector leads to a defined rotational orientation.

Within SC connectors, the fiber is inserted in a floating, spring loaded ferrule with 2.5 mm diameter, providing good mechanical contact of the fiber’s core. While the connector is preferably used for single mode fibers in communication applications, it can also connect multi mode fibers.

Optoplast’s SC simplex crimp type connector kits are suitable for application with single mode and multi mode optical fibers. Crimp is available for 1.6, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 mm fiber optic cable, while SC connector kits for Ø 900 μm buffer don’t provide a crimp option.

Optoplast SC simplex connector kits are supplied as standard in four configurations – single mode PC (blue housing, blue boot), single mode APC 8° (light or dark green housing, light green boot), single mode APC 9° (light green housing, red boot) and multi mode (beige housing, beige boot). Multi mode OM3 – OM4 ST connector kits (aqua housing, black boot) are also available on request. For some cable diameters, users can also choose white or yellow boot colours as well as slotted boots (see datasheet). Other boot colours are available on request.

All these SC simplex connector kits can be ordered either as multi-piece or pre-assembled one-piece versions. 90° boots (black) are available in 3 mm as accessory, suitable for 1.6 to 3 mm fiber optic cable. Further accessories include a dust cap with latch for dust protection. Each separate component of the SC simplex crimp type connector kits is packed as standard in transparent plastic bags of 500 pieces. All components of the connector are RoHS and REACH compliant.
