SC PATCH CORD
SC Fibre Patch Cords with Single-Mode 9/125 Duplex / Simplex Cables are terminated with SC fibre optic connectors on both ends (SC-SC) or SC connector at one end and LC or FC or ST or E2000 connector at the other end. Referred to as Subscriber Connectors, Square Connectors or Standard Connectors, these push-pull connectors are the most common choice for FTTH (fibre to the home) applications in use for Datacom and Telcom; most GBIC modules also require this connector type.
Our fibre optic cable assemblies are terminated with state-of-the-art connectors, which are available in any combination of SC, LC, FC, ST, MU, MTRJ or E2000 with PC, UPC or APC polish types to meet your standard or bespoke requirement. Our fibre optic cable assemblies have been geometrically inspected with interferometers and tested with automated insertion loss and reflection test equipment to ensure exceptional performance.

Connector Type Abbreviations:
SC – a snap-in style connector. Known for its excellent performance. Referred to as Subscriber Connectors, Square Connectors or Standard Connectors.
ST – a very popular choice connector for multimode networks. Also referred to as Straight Tip connectors, they utilize a bayonet-style coupling type, enabling a simple twist-on and twist-off installation.
FC – was at one time the most popular single mode connector type, but is now typically being replaced by SC and LC connectors. Also known as Ferrule Connectors, they utilize a screw-on coupling type to be used in high-vibration environments and are commonly used for datacom, telecom, measurement equipment and single-mode lasers.
LC – a small form factor connector—measuring half the size of an SC connector. This is a popular choice for single mode cables. Also referred to as Lucent Connectors, Little Connectors or Local Connectors, these snap-in connectors are typically used for high density connections and are compatible with plug-and-play devices such as SFP modules and XFP transceivers.
Polish Type Abbreviations:
Note: The polish type affects the amount of back reflection, also known as reflectance.
PC – Physical Contact. Polished to create a slight dome at the end of the ferrule that helps to maximize the signal being transmitted.
UPC – Ultra Physical Contact. More extensive polishing than the PC type, a greater dome shape is created that further help to maximize the signal being transmitted.
APC – Angled Physical Contact. Polished at an angle rather than a dome shape. This is the most efficient polish type.
