The 3M™SC Low EMI Connector is
made of non-ferrous materials to
minimize electromagnetic interference
for high speed transmission equipment
such as routers, switches, servers and
test bed applications. These connectors
are available in single-mode and
multimode, and as part of simplex,
duplex and multifiber cable
assemblies.
The 3M Low EMI Connectors were
tested for radiant emissions to simulate
typical use in data transmission
applications. 3M Low EMI Connectors
passed FCC Part 15, Class B, Radiant
Emissions per test method ANSI
C63:4:1992. The FCC Class B
specification requires an emission level
below 54 dBuV/m.
Low EMI SC Connectors are ideal
for applications running at speeds of 1
to 10 Gb/s transmission associated
with storage and system area networks
(SANs), Internet server farms
(Infiniband), metro and wide area
network (MAN and WAN) central
offices, local area networks (LANs)
and other specialty applications to
prevent noise generated inside the box
from radiating through the transceiver.
Primary applications for low EMI
interconnects are in storage and server
markets associated with Infiniband and
Fibre Channel forums, and in
MAN/WAN Ethernet OEMs.
Advantages
-Minimizes electromagnetic
interference from equipment
-Reduces noise in high speed
equipment
-Eliminates the need for
sophisticated grounding and
shielding
-Compliance with FCC Class B
-Provides low attenuation and low
reflection
-Easily field terminated with the
ferrule integrated into the connector
-Standard SC design with push-pull
coupling mechanism for easy
insertion and high repeatability
