3M NO POLISH CONNECTORS - SC

Introduction

It is ideal for FTTP drop terminations as well as LAN structured cabling backbone, and fiber-to-the-enclosure applications. With a factory-polished ferrule assembly and a mechanical splice, the connector can be quickly installed - without electrical power - using a simple field tool that is included in every box of 60 connectors.

For superior mechanical performance, the NPC has internal gripping elements for the strain relief of the 900 μm buffer along with a unique, bell-shaped boot. The boot is attached to the connector body, minimizing the chance of losing or forgetting to install it during the termination process. After the installation, the boot keeps the fibre from kinking, even during side pull.

3M™ No Polish Connector SC/APC and LC/APC provides fast, on-site installation of 250 μm and 900 μm singlemode fibre. The SC/APC and LC/APC compatible connectors are available with a standard, flat splice configuration or with a keyed, angle splice for excellent back reflection of <-60 dB across temperature extremes.
