Field Terminating ST & SC Connectors

 

 

 

3M has simplified the SC connector to enhance performance and cable retention and provide a readily field mountable connector. The SC epoxy connector complies with the NTT, JIS, ISO/IEC and TIA/EIA
component and ISO/IEC, CENELEC, ANSI, TIA/EIA-568B.3 and cabling level standards.

It features a rectangular push-pull coupling mechanism for easy insertion and high repeatability.

The epoxy SC connector is available in singlemode and multimode.

FC/PC (Epoxy/Hot Melt) Connector


The FC connector is a field mountable, pull-proof connector that is designed to be fully compatible with all FC connectors adhering to the NTT specification. The FC connector will help maximize
termination yield through ease of mounting and a high performance polishing procedure.


The three-piece connector design (connector, crimp ring, and boot) is mounted using the same simple process used for other 3M connectors. The FC connector is available in singlemode and
multimode utilizing epoxy adhesive.

It is also available in singlemode and multimode preloaded with 3M’s hot melt adhesive, enabling a
field termination in less than two minutes for multiple terminations.
All 3M FC connectors meet the requirements of TIA/EIA-568B.3 (including composite ferrules).

Singlemode epoxy connectors are compliant with Telcordia GR-326-CORE.

 

3M FC Connector Features

  • Pull-proof (Independent) Ferrule
  • Keyed threaded Connector
  • Compatible with FC NTT specifications
  • Pre-radiused PC Ferrule
  • Zirconia ceramic ferrule
  • High strength thermoplastic housing

             Benefits

  • Maintains optical contact
  • Versatility; convenient global source
  • Fiber centered in radius, improved performance
  • Eliminates flaking of metal plating
  • High repeatability, can improve stability of system
