SC Duplex Connectors & Adapters

Applications

Features & Benefits

The SC Duplex Connection System has been designed to maintain fiber optic cabling polarity in the telecommunication and

data communication networks.

The connector system combines two, widely accepted, NTT-SC standard connectors in a common duplex housing. This

housing, while maintaining polarity of the cable, provides smooth insertion and removal of the connector pairs. By using the

Molex SC connectors, economic benefits of the easy to assemble one-piece connector body and the reliability of a Telcordia

and IEC tested connector design can be realized in a duplex configuration. They are also available with the fibre channel

standard compliant housing.

To support the use of optical fiber as a cabling media in the network, especially in the horizontal premises applications, Molex

offers a variety of duplex adapters. The SC to SC combination, available in flange mount or snap mount versions, supports the

EIA/TIA commercial building telecommunication wiring standards, and the SC to ST, also available in the flange or snap mount

versions, supports the migration to these standards. These adapters are now available with a snap-on shutter assembly

which provides a barrier against laser exposure and dust contamination. All adapter styles are available with either the

zirconia ceramic or phosphor bronze sleeves.
