FC Connector

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
