What Is SC Duplex Connector
The SC duplex fiber optic connector actually consists of two simple SC connectors that are connected together by a SC Duplex Clip has a durable plastic body with a square front profile. Its compact design is ideal for telecommunications closets, premise wiring and other high density applications. stands for Subscriber Connector. SC connector offers excellent packing density, and its push-pull design resists fiber end face contact damage.SC connector are inexpensive, trouble-free, and robust. SC connectors give precise positioning via their ceramic ferrules. The square, snap-in connector latches with a simple push-pull motion and is keyed. SC optical connector has a 2.5mm ferrule and molded housing for shielding. it has a 1000 mating cycles and have an insertion loss of 0.25 dB.
Multiple styles available.
SC duplex fiber optic connectors are available in a variety of colors and boots.
