Product Sheet
SC/PC or SC/SPC patch-cord
Patchcords or pigtails are available in standard and variable lengths of single mode single fiber cable, one or both termination assembled with SC / PC or SC / SPC convex polishing connector (SC / SPC or Super PC increase return loss). Each patchcord is identified by a serial number.
Insertion and return loss measures at 1310 nm are enclosed. The unitary packaging supplied is a blister with dimensions 240 x 190 x 20 mm. Other packaging available upon request.

SC/PC, SC/SPC and SC/UPC connector
Connector with zirconia ferrule and convex polishing.
Besides its optimum optical features, this connector has been designed according to I-ETS 300671 standard with regard to tests of repeatability, impact, tensile strength, etc. This connector allows a high density connection in distribution units when compared to other standard ones. It is used for patchpanel and field interconnection by operator companies all over the world in CATV networks, data voice networks..., where an excellent optical connection is required.
