Overview
The Seikoh Giken FC Connector is a high-precision fiber optic connector designed for singlemode APC (Angled Physical Contact) applications. This connector is engineered to provide low insertion loss and high return loss performance, making it a critical component for high-bandwidth telecommunications, data centers, and network infrastructure.
Constructed with a durable zirconia ferrule, this connector is designed for use with 3mm cable jackets. It features an angled polish to minimize back-reflections, which is essential for sensitive optical systems. The green boot provides easy visual identification of the APC polish type in complex patching environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the APC polish on this connector?
The APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish uses an 8-degree angle to ensure that reflected light is directed into the cladding rather than back towards the source, which is critical for high-performance singlemode systems.
Is this connector suitable for multimode fiber?
No, this is specifically designed for singlemode fiber applications.
What ferrule size does this connector use?
This connector utilizes a 126µm zirconia ferrule.
Does the green boot indicate a specific connector type?
Yes, the green boot is an industry-standard indicator for APC singlemode connectors.
Can I use this with 900µm buffered fiber?
No, this version is specifically configured for 3mm cable.
