FC Patchcord
                    
                The patchcords with FC connector type are designed and manufactured according JIS, IEC, EIA/TIA and ANSI specifications for intermateability and optical performance. The FC connectors are offered for MM or SM applications, with PC and APC polishing method.
- Pull proof
 - Meets FC connector standard
 - Available both standards:
 - NPC205 - Methode, Seikoh Giken, JDSU
 - NPC215 – Seiko Instruments
 - Pre-radiused ceramic ferrules configured for Ultra PC and APC polishing
 - Pre-assembled option simplifies field termination
 - Ferrule assembly has high resolution tuning feature
