The connector is rated for 1000 mating cycles, and the insertion loss is only 0.25 dB.
The kit comes in its own compact, lightweight case. This shape along with its other key features ensures that the connector is easily latched into the correct position and that the snap latches ensure that it stays in place, reducing the optical loss of signals. Anaerobic adhesive-style fiber optic connector shall meet or exceed the. The main feature of the connector is its square, or actually rectangular, shape and simple push-pull attachment motion. Progress in material and manufacturing processes, however, has ensured that it is now cheaper and much more common.
This makes testing convenient, since one set of multimode reference test cables with ST or SC connectors can adapt to all these connectors. The square connector was standardized in the Telecommunications Industry Association’s TIA-568-A specification but was not widely used at first because it was more expensive than the ST connector. The ST/SC/FC/FDDI/ESON connectors have the same ferrule size 2.5mm or about 0.1 inch so they can be mixed and matched with each other using hybrid-mating adapters. Square Connector: A square connector or standard connector (SC) is a fiber-optic cable connector that uses a push-pull latching mechanism similar to that used in common audio/video cables, which makes it very easy to connect and disconnect the cables. The square connector is designed to be a snap-in connector that features a 2.5-mm ferrule that is exactly the same as that used in ST connectors, which are widely used because of their excellent performance and durability. A square connector is also known as a standard connector or subscriber connector.
