SC Fiber-Optic Cable Connectors

Introduction to SC Connectors SC connectors, a vital component in the world of fiber-optic cable connectivity, are prevalently used in optical network domains like internet services and cable TV. The acronym SC has various interpretations, including Square Connector, Standard Connector, Subscriber Connector, or Stick-and-Click Connector. Despite being called a square connector, its actual form is rectangular.

Key Features of SC Connectors

• Design: The SC connector is recognized for its snap-in arrangement paired with a push-pull latching mechanism, allowing for straightforward connections and disconnections.
• Construction: It incorporates a 2.5 mm ceramic ferrule, a commonality it shares with ST, FC, FDDI, and ESON connectors, to bolster performance and longevity. While its square shape renders it more compact and manageable than earlier models, it is notably larger than the later-developed LC connector.

Development and Adoption Originating in the mid-1980s from Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) labs, the SC connector was initially a high-cost alternative to the ST connector. Over time, advancements in manufacturing and materials have rendered SC connectors more cost-effective and widely utilized.

Design Specifics

• System Compatibility: SC connectors are frequently chosen for both single-mode and multimode systems, thanks to their outstanding performance.
• Duplex Capability: Available in both single and duplex configurations, the latter facilitating full duplex communication using two cables and connectors.
• Durability and Efficiency: Rated for up to 1000 mating cycles, these connectors boast a low insertion loss of just 0.25 dB. Their square design and keying features ensure accurate and easy alignment during connection, with the snap feature securing the connection.
• Color Coding: SC connectors employ a color-coding system for easy identification.

Standards and Applications

• Telecommunications Standard: The SC connector was the inaugural choice as the standard connector for TIA-568-A specifications.
• Market and Usage: Widely used in data communication, telecommunications, and various optical network applications, including internet and CATV. They are also integral in optical cabinets, media converters, and FTTX systems like EPON and GPON.
