DConnect’s SC Adaptor brings precise fibre mating with its zirconia ceramic alignment sleeve and delivers low insertion loss and high return loss across both single-mode and multimode applications. Unlike conventional connectors that suffer from poor alignment, signal loss, and unreliability, the DConnect SC Adapter eliminates these risks.
The SC Adaptor solution is available in simplex and duplex formats with flanged and unflanged mounting options. As a SC adaptor supplier in the UAE, this solution is suitable for telecom, FTTH, CATV, and data centre environments.
Features
- Single Mode and Multimode: Supports SM and MM fibres for accurate short- and long-distance transmission.
- Simplex and Duplex: Connects either one fibre or two simultaneously with ease.
- Mounting Options: Choose flanged for secure panel mounting or unflanged for space-saving setups.
- Standard SC Interface: Compatible with connectors and patch panels.
- Zirconia Ceramic Sleeve: Provides high-precision ferrule alignment, which lowers insertion loss and ensures stable transmission.
- Durable Design: Rated for over 1,000 mating cycles for long-term reliability.
- Wide Temperature Range: Delivers consistent performance from -40°C to +75°C indoors or outdoors.
- Flame-Retardant Housing: Built with UL94-V0 materials to resist flame propagation.
