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
