The object you're holding is an SC (Subscriber Connector) fiber optic connector. These connectors are commonly used in network and telecom setups for fiber optic cables. Here's a quick rundown:
Connector Type: SC
- Color: Blue typically indicates single-mode fiber (usually used for long-distance data transmission).
- Ferrule: The white cylindrical part at the tip is the ferrule, which aligns the fiber and is crucial for precise data transmission.
- Push-pull design: SC connectors use a push-pull mechanism for easy insertion and removal.
SC/APC
The connector shown is an SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) type fiber optic connector, but let’s get specific:
Based on What I See:
The blue housing usually indicates an SC/UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connector.
The ferrule end in your image looks flat, which is consistent with UPC rather than the angled end of an APC (which would be green and have an 8° angled polish).
SC module
SC stands for Subscriber Connector.
SC connectors are a type of fiber optic connector commonly used with fiber optic cables.
Features:
Push-pull coupling mechanism: Allows easy insertion and removal of connectors.
Duplex design: Typically used in dual-core fiber optic cables (sending and receiving signals).
Durable and reliable, often used in telecommunications, data centers, and other long-distance fiber optic links.
Size: Relatively large compared to other connectors like LC.
