fiber optic connectors d escription /a pplication the fc/pc i connectors are available in either single mode or multimode and are fully intermateable with other fc/pc style fiber optic connectors. the thomas & betts fc/pc i one- piece design connectors are manufactured of precision screw machined stainless steel for consistent performance. both the single mode and the multimode connectors use a zirconia ceramic ferrule with a 20 millimeter pre-radius to facilitate optimum pc polish capability and superior performance. this enables the installer to achieve low insertion loss and high return loss while insuring maximum repeatability. the one- piece design of the fc/pc i provides for quick field termination with high yields. connectors may be ordered pre- terminated on cable assemblies or may be terminated in the field. a complete easy-to-use field termination kit is available for economical field termination of both the single mode and multimode connectors. also available are fc panel mount adapters. d esign a dvantages ? intermateable with all fc/pc-type connectors ? keyed for maximum repeatability ? low insertion loss ? high return loss ? field installable ? complies with jis mating specifications ? one-piece design 452 thomas & betts electronics/oem division tel: 901-252-5000 fax: 901-252-1312 fc/pc 1 single mode and multimode connector system the thomas & betts fc/pc i connector system features a keyed, threaded coupling mechanism to guarantee precise, consistent alignment with every connection.
