Harsh MU SC FC Attenuators Terminators Environment SC Type Fiber Optic Connectors HSC Series Features 1. JIS, IEC standards compliant and fully intermateable with NTT s SC products. JIS C 5973 (F04 type fiber optic connectors) IEC 61754-4 2. Plugs with strain relief boot Long strain relief boot assures that there are no performance losses when a pull force is applied in a vertical bend direction. The color of the boot identify the type of polishing: Blue: PC polishing Light purple: Advanced PC (AdPC) polishing Green: Angled PC polishing (APC) Other colors are also possible. 3. Zirconia Split Sleeve Adapter Reduces the possibility of powdering caused by the repeated insertion and withdrawal of ferrule. 4. Duplex SC Type: Rigid Type Available in following types H type 8.5 mm spacing between the fibers, for high density applications. F type 12.7 mm spacing between the fibers, low profile, for LAN applications. Refer to page 39 for further information. 5. Duplex SC Type: Adjustable Type -- Comply With ANSI Standards Floating mechanism with Duplex SC plug. It is also fully compatible with the HSCF fixed type. 6. Simplified Plugs and Receptacles. Small size (23.8mm plug length) simplified SC plug is designed for equipments inside connection. Refer to page 43 for further information. Applications LAN, public communications lines, CableTV, computer transmission systems, test equipment, and other applications requiring reliable fiber optic connections. 25 Product Specifications Ratings Operating temperature range -25C to +70C Storage temperature range -25C to +70C Item Test Method (IEC 61300) Specifications Wavelength 1310nm (LD) 0.5dB max.
