FC fiber optic connectors are specifically designed for telecommunication applications. The Molex FC connector series is
designed to NTT-FC standards and provides true non-optical disconnect performance. They are fully compatible with existing
FC hardware.
The pre-assembled, one-piece body design and the pre-polished ferrules provide quick and economical terminations both in
factory and in-the-field settings. Also, with the pre-polished ferrule and the Molex termination method, a uniform endface
geometry is ensured, resulting in consistent optical performance.
Connector mating is achieved by using bulkhead feed-through adapters. These adapters combine a metal housing and either
a precision zirconia ceramic or a rugged phosphor bronze sleeve. Flange mount or “D” hole mount adapter styles are available.
