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(R) 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 2-4 www.radiall.com SC CHARACTERISTICS Optical characteristics SingleMode PC Wave length Insertion Loss (against a reference patchcord) Mean Standard deviation Insertion Loss (Random) Peak Average Return Loss < 0.20 dB 0.14 dB SingleMode SingleMode APC PC tuned 1310-1550 nm < 0.20 dB 0.14 dB < 0.8 dB, 97% < 0.6 dB, 99% 0.25 dB 0.13 dB PC > 30 dB UPC > 50 dB SingleMode APC tuned MultiMode PC 850-1310 nm < 0.20 dB 0.15 dB < 0.20 dB 0.15 dB < 0.20 dB 0.08 dB < 0.8 dB, 97% 0.25 dB < 0.6 dB, 99% 0.15 dB - APC > 60 dB PC > 20 dB Insertion Loss Against a reference patchcord: IEC 61300-3-4 Method B Insertion Loss Random: IEC 61300-3-34 Return Loss: IEC 61300-3-6 Note: The optical performances also depend on the fiber and/or cable construction.
