SC Duplex Connectors & Adapters Applications Features & Benefits Utilizes standard NTT-SC* Telecommunication networks connectors Data communication networks Meets EIA/TIA 568A and Fibre Channel IEC 874-19 standards Easy to assemble 1-piece SC connector body Low insertion loss: < 0.15 dB TYP SM < 0.34 dB TYP MM < 0.17 dB TYP MM enhanced Rugged duplex housing provides uniform and smooth mating Optional adapter styles: SC to SC and SC to ST Snap mount or flange mount The SC Duplex Connection System has been designed to maintain fiber optic cabling polarity in the telecommunication and data communication networks. The connector system combines two, widely accepted, NTT-SC standard connectors in a common duplex housing. This housing, while maintaining polarity of the cable, provides smooth insertion and removal of the connector pairs. By using the Molex SC connectors, economic benefits of the easy to assemble one-piece connector body and the reliability of a Telcordia and IEC tested connector design can be realized in a duplex configuration. They are also available with the fibre channel standard compliant housing. To support the use of optical fiber as a cabling media in the network, especially in the horizontal premises applications, Molex offers a variety of duplex adapters. The SC to SC combination, available in flange mount or snap mount versions, supports the EIA/TIA commercial building telecommunication wiring standards, and the SC to ST, also available in the flange or snap mount versions, supports the migration to these standards. These adapters are now available with a snap-on shutter assembly which provides a barrier against laser exposure and dust contamination. All adapter styles are available with either the zirconia ceramic or phosphor bronze sleeves. *NTT-SC is a trademark of NTT Advanced Technology Corporation ST is a trademark of Lucent Technologies Mechanical Dimensions SC Duplex Connector INCHES All dimensions in mm MOLEX FIBER OPTICS DIVISION 5224 Katrine Avenue, Downers Grove, IL 60515 / Tel: 800-A1-FIBER or (630) 512-8787 Web: www.molex.com/fiberSC Duplex Connectors & Adapters Mechanical Dimensions SC Tunable Duplex Connector Fibre Channel Housing SC/APC Duplex Connector FIBER OPTIC CABLE .071 1.8 .372 .354 9.5 9.0 .500 .018 .942 8 .189 23.9 12.7 0.45 4.8 D .098 2.5 .291 .500 .074 .507 7.4 1.9 12.9 12.7 .380 2.100 9.7 53.3 SC Duplex Clip .50 .27 2x 12.7 6.9 .38 .125 .34 9.7 3.18 8.6 .50 .94 12.7 24.9 .91 2.3 INCHES All dimensions in mm
