Overview
The SC/APC Singlemode Zirconia Connector is designed for high-performance fiber optic termination, utilizing an angled physical contact (APC) ferrule to minimize back reflection in sensitive network environments. These connectors are engineered for precision and durability, featuring a robust plastic body with a square profile that ensures stable performance in telecommunications, premise wiring, and high-density installations.
Equipped with a push-pull coupling mechanism, these connectors allow for rapid patching and secure engagement in rack or wall-mount enclosures. The included 900µm boots provide strain relief for tight-buffered fiber, supporting reliable connectivity in standard singlemode applications. Sold in a 100-pack, these connectors are an ideal choice for contractors and data center operators requiring high-density, low-reflectance network solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the APC finish signify?
APC stands for Angled Physical Contact, which means the fiber end-face is polished at an angle to minimize back reflections (return loss) in the network.
Can these connectors be used for duplexing?
Yes, these connectors are designed to be clipped together, allowing them to function in duplex configurations.
Are these suitable for patch cords?
Yes, these are standard SC/APC connectors commonly used for terminating singlemode patch cables.
What is the ferrule material?
These connectors utilize Zirconia ceramic ferrules for high durability and optimal optical alignment.
What fiber size do the boots accommodate?
The included boots are specifically designed for 900µm tight-buffered fiber.
