specifications
SC Fiber Optic Adapters shall be compliant
with TIA FOCIS-3. Each simplex SC adapter
shall connect one SC connector pair in one
module space. Each duplex SC adapter shall
connect two SC connector pairs in two module
spaces. All SC adapters and adapter modules
are available with phosphor bronze or zirconia
ceramic split sleeves and can be used for
singlemode or multimode applications.
