FC Patchcord

FC Patchcord

The patchcords with FC connector type are designed and manufactured according JIS, IEC, EIA/TIA and ANSI specifications for intermateability and optical performance. The FC connectors are offered for MM or SM applications, with PC and APC polishing method.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  • Pull proof
  • Meets FC connector standard
  • Available both standards:
  • NPC205 - Methode, Seikoh Giken, JDSU
  • NPC215 – Seiko Instruments
  • Pre-radiused ceramic ferrules configured for Ultra PC and APC polishing
  • Pre-assembled option simplifies field termination
  • Ferrule assembly has high resolution tuning feature
