SC/APC Connector

The SC connector holds a single fiber in a standard-sized (2.5 mm) ceramic ferrule. The connector body has a square front profile, and is made of moulded plastic. Clips on either side of the body and the connector key allow for easy push-in connections. This push-pull latching mechanism makes the SC connector preferred in high-density interconnect applications such as telecommunications closets and premise wiring. Two SC connectors may be mounted side by side on duplex cable. SC connectors have been preferred by the TIA/EIA-568-A industry standard for premise cabling because it is felt to be easier to maintain the polarity of duplex cables with this type of connector.
