Standard fiber cables are equipped with an FC Type connector (FC APC or FC PC). An overview of detailed features is. Understanding fiber connector types—SC/APC, SC/PC, LC/UPC, LC/APC, ST/PC, FC/PC, and FC/APC—is essential for selecting the right interface for your application. Each type varies by shape, polish (APC, PC, or UPC), and return loss performance, which affect PC, UPC, and APC Polish Styles: What's the. The FC connector is a fiber-optic connector with a threaded body, which was designed for use in high-vibration environments. It is commonly used with both single-mode optical fiber and polarization-maintaining optical fiber. The "PC" stands for "physical contact" because these connectors allow the surfaces of two connected fibers to be in direct contact with each other. The FC/PC single mode connectors on this page feature a pre-radiused (20 mm).
