FC Connector
                    
                The FC connectors are designed and manufactured according to JIS, IEC, EIA/TIA and ANSI specifications for intermateability and optical performance. The FC connectors are available in both MM and SM versions with PC and APC polishing method.
- Pull proof
 - Meets FC connector standard
 - FC/APC available both standards:
 - Type R - Methode, Seikoh Giken, JDSU
 - Type N - 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
