The SC connector is a fiber optic connector with a push-pull latching mechanism which
provides quick insertion and removal, while ensuring a robust connection, thanks to its
“pull-proof” concept.
The SC connector is frequently used in datacom or telecom applications, especially for
FTTH applications.
The SC connector range is available in PC and APC polishing. A duplex configuration is
also available by using a fully removable duplex brace. The identification of the optical
channel (A or B) can be easily changed by reversing the clip cover.
The RADIALL SC connector has something more than the competitors: it can be tuned
to 1 of 6 positions to optimise the insertion loss for random connections (the tuning
technique consists of rotating the optical ferrule to reduce the offset between fiber
cores, IEC 61300-2-41)
BENEFITS & FEATURES
• Easy mounting and installation
- Radiall has a proprietary secure bonding to protect the floating mechanism during the resin injection process
- APC 8° pre-angled version is available to accelerate installation on the field
- Latched push-pull system for quick insertion and removal
- Color coding
• High performance
- High precision alignment with proven 2.5 mm zirconia ferrule
- Tested according to GR-326-CORE Telcordia and IEC 60874 specifications
- One-piece tuneable connector® to optimise fiber’s cores alignment when connecting (6 positions)
• Secure Connexion
- Pull-proof design
- Radiall has improved the crimping reliability thanks to a mini metallic tube protecting the fiber while reducing
stress and ensuring excellent cable retention
- Different protection boots available with exclusive shapes to tighten the cable and maintain optical performances
even when the cable is bent or pulled
• Flexible
- Available for MultiMode, single mode, PC, UPC and APC terminations
- Can be assembled in duplex configuration with a removable clip
APPLICATIONS
Telecommunication networks (FTTA, Ethernet,
Sonet/ATM, fiber channel, FTTH)
• Broadband subscriber networks
• CATV
• Fiber management systems
• Active device termination
• Datacom LAN

DUPLEX SC CONNECTORS
Thanks to Radiall’s SC removable duplex clip, a simplex connector can be changed at any time to a duplex connector.
The clip is fitted after cabling.
Select 2 Simplex SC connectors and a duplex removable clip to create your duplex SC connector.
The identification of the optical channel (A or B) can be easily changed by reversing the clip cover.
To select a clip, please refer to the “accessories” section.
