What is the fiber optic connector FC?

FC fiber optic connectors are popular in test environments and in particular for applications in single mode.

FC stands for a permanent connection. "It 'was the first door, and is now in PC FC, FC APC, FC / SPC, FC types UPC. It' was originally developed by NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone), developed for telecommunications. It was so popular Japan and Europe. In the United States, used in fiber optic networks of MCI in 1980.

FC connector has a threadedTo reach adjustable with encoding mechanism for the insertion loss minimal. You can customize the key to a certain extent, so that the freezer at least a position of loss. While this sentiment is, in some applications, where the loss required minimum useful but not used in most applications because of low profit of 0.1 ~ 0.2 dB insertion loss.

Although single-mode and multimode nature of the FC ports available, is used primarily for single-mode applications.

FC connector allows a greatprecise positioning of fiber optic cables are connected. Sun FC has set the standard for connectors in optical fiber.

But they are not related to the mechanism of thread can cause FC connectivity in a duplex version. This makes it less popular in LAN and fiber optic networks premise. Was replaced by SC and LC connectors.

Locking the thread has a nickel-metal enclosure and a 2.5-mm ceramic ferrule design. This structure is also secure connectionexposed to vibration. The disadvantage is that it can be connected quickly and with SC or LC connectors separately.

FC-APC connector has an 8 ° angled ferrule endface. The purpose of the endface is the angle of reflection from the connector to minimize the mating surfaces. FC-APC connector has a minimum of reflection is bound to be less than-60dB in most cases.
