SC/APC Connector
Connector with zirconia ferrule and convex angled polishing at 8º with high return loss. Besides their optimum optical features, this connector has been designed according to CECC-86265-805 and I-ETS 300 671 standard with regard to tests of repeatability, impact, tensile strength, etc. This connector allows a high density connection in distribution units when compared to standard connectors.
It is used for patch panel and field interconnection by operator companies all over the world in CATV networks, data voice networks..., where an excellent optical connection is required.
