Molex FC/PC Connector Multimode, Enhanced

Overview

The Molex FC/PC Multimode Enhanced Connector is a high-precision fiber optic interconnect designed specifically for telecommunications applications. It features a rugged threaded coupling mechanism that ensures a secure, stable connection in high-vibration environments where consistent non-optical disconnect performance is required.

This connector is engineered with a high-quality zirconia ferrule for optimal alignment and durability. The ferrule features a pre-radius PC (Physical Contact) finish, which is specifically designed to minimize back reflection and ensure high-performance signal transmission in multimode network infrastructures.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the PC finish indicate?
The PC (Physical Contact) finish refers to a pre-radiused ferrule end-face design that ensures the cores of the fiber touch, minimizing signal loss and back reflection.

Is this connector suitable for high-vibration areas?
Yes, the FC connector utilizes a threaded coupling mechanism, which is much more secure than snap-in connectors in environments subject to vibration.

What cable size is this connector designed for?
This connector kit includes a 3.0mm boot, making it ideal for standard 3.0mm jacketed fiber optic cables.

Can these ferrules be custom-drilled?
Yes, while the standard ferrule is zirconia, stainless alloy ferrules are available and can be custom drilled for specific applications.

Is this compatible with singlemode fiber?
No, this connector is specifically designed for 125µm multimode fiber applications.
