FC APC Optic Patch Cord
The FC connector was first developed by Japan NTT. FC is an abbreviated form of Ferrule Connector. The connector is round with thread. It adopts the external reinforcement method of metal sleeve. The fastening method is screw buckle. It is generally used on the ODF side (the most used on the distribution frame). The connector has a simple structure, convenient operation and easy manufacture. At the same time, it uses metal joints, compared with plastic joints, FC joints can be plugged more times. Later, the FC connector was further improved by using a spherical pin (PC) with a mating end face, which greatly improved the insertion loss and return loss performance. As with other types of connectors, FC fiber connectors also have three grinding methods, namely PC, UPC and APC.
