Frequently Asked Questions
What does the heat-cure process involve?
Heat-cure connectors use an epoxy adhesive that is set by heating in a specialized curing oven to provide a secure and permanent bond between the fiber and the connector.
Can these connectors be used in duplex applications?
Yes, these SC connectors are designed to be clipped together, allowing them to be easily converted into a duplex connection.
Are these compatible with high-density environments?
Yes, the compact square profile and push-pull design make these connectors well-suited for high-density rack and wall-mount installations.
What is the purpose of the zirconia ferrule?
The zirconia ferrule is a high-precision ceramic component that ensures the fiber ends are aligned with minimal tolerance for optimal light transmission.
What fiber size is this connector for?
This specific connector is optimized for 62.5um multimode fiber.
