Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the 126um ferrule?
The 126um hole size is specifically designed to accommodate standard singlemode fiber cladding, ensuring accurate alignment for low-loss connectivity.
Is this connector suitable for high-vibration areas?
Yes, the FC connector's threaded coupling provides a significantly more secure connection than push-pull style connectors in high-vibration environments.
What does the PC finish indicate?
PC stands for Physical Contact. It refers to the rounded endface polish which allows the fiber cores to touch directly, reducing signal reflection back into the source.
Can I use this for multimode fiber?
No, this connector is specifically for singlemode applications. Multimode connectors typically require different ferrule tolerances.
Is the boot included?
Yes, the connector includes a 3mm yellow strain relief boot for standard cable jackets.
