Facts about SC connectors

Design: These connectors, known as SC, or Subscriber Connectors, were initially created by NTT in Japan. They are a kind of push-pull connector that holds the fiber in place with a ceramic ferrule.

Size: SC connectors have a ferrule diameter of 2.5mm, making them slightly bigger than LC connectors. They are less likely to be damaged than smaller connectors due to their bigger size, which also enables a more secure connection.

Various polarity configurations, such as simplex, duplex, and polarity reversal, are possible for SC connectors. To ensure that signals are transferred correctly, the connector's polarity describes how the fibers are organized inside.

SC connectors come in a variety of varieties, including UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) and APC (Angled Physical Contact). In contrast to APC connectors, UPC connectors have a flat end face.

Applications: Data centers, telecommunications networks, and cable TV networks all frequently use SC connectors. They are also utilized in high-performance applications like as military communication systems, medical equipment, and others.
