Overview
The Seikoh Giken SC connector is a high-precision fiber optic component engineered for singlemode applications requiring advanced physical contact performance. Featuring an Angled Physical Contact (APC) interface, this connector is designed to minimize back-reflection in sensitive telecommunications and high-speed data transmission environments.
This connector is constructed with a high-grade zirconia ferrule, ensuring stable and reliable performance across various environmental conditions. Optimized for 3mm cable diameters, it includes a green boot, providing clear visual identification for APC-compliant systems.
Key Features
-
Angled Physical Contact (APC)
Features an 8-degree polish to minimize back-reflection and return loss in high-performance networks. -
Zirconia Ferrule
Utilizes precision-machined ceramic material for consistent alignment and durability over repeated matings. -
Standardized SC Interface
Industry-standard push-pull locking mechanism ensures quick, secure installation in patch panels and equipment. -
Green Boot Identification
Color-coded boot design allows for immediate visual identification of APC connections, preventing accidental mismatching. -
3mm Cable Compatibility
Engineered to provide strain relief and secure termination for standard 3mm outer jacket fiber cables. -
Singlemode Precision
Optimized for 126µm ferrule inner diameter to ensure low insertion loss for singlemode fiber transmission.
