E2000/APC connector
Connector with zirconia ferrule and convex angled polishing at 8º with high return loss. Besides its optimum optical features, this connector has been designed according to I-ETS 300671 standard with regard to tests of repeatability, impact, traction, etc.. This connector provides a high connection density in distribution units when compared to standard connectors.
It is used for field interconnection by operator companies all over the world in CATV networks, data voice networks..., where an excellent optical connection is required. The protective plug is assembled with the connector body.
