SC Fiber Optic Connectors
SPECIFICATION SHEET
s p e c i f i c a t i o n s
SC field polish connectors are TIA/EIA-604 FOCIS-3
compliant. SC simplex and duplex connectors are
field terminable. The fibers shall terminate in 2.5mm
ceramic ferrules with non-optical disconnect
functionality and an average insertion loss of 0.1dB
(multimode) and 0.15dB (singlemode) per mated pair.
