Description
Overview
GAOTek Fiber Optic FC Connector with FC Patch Cord is used multi-mode and single-mode fiber and is widely used in multimode networks, including LANs for buildings and campuses. This fiber optic FC connector has bayonet-style housing and a long spring-loaded ferrule that holds the fiber. Horizontally mounted simplex and duplex adapters are available with metal or plastic housing, with a choice of phosphor bronze or zirconium split sleeve. It is one of the older generations of connector. The FC connector is a fiber-optic connector with a threaded body, which is designed for use in high-vibration environments. It is commonly used with both single-mode optical fiber and polarization-maintaining optical fiber. FC connectors are used in Datacom, telecommunications, measurement equipment, and single-mode lasers.
Features
- Supports single mode and multimode versions.
- Ceramic ferrules are configured for easy hand or machine “Super” PC and “Ultra” Polishing.
- Coupling nut radial track minimizes the rotation needed to mate the connector.
- Its assembly body construction simplifies field’s assembly.
- It supports low insertion loss.
- The connector accommodates tight and loose tube buffer cables with jacket up to 0.118 in (3.0 mm).
- It also supports Ultra-low back reflection.

How to Choose the Right Fiber Optic Cable Type?
PS: The difference of OM4 and OM3 fiber mode as the following;
- OM4 was developed specifically for VCSEL laser transmission and allows 10 G / second link distances of up to 1804 ft. (550 M) (compared to 300 M with OM3).
- The effective modal bandwidth for OM4 is more than double that of OM3.
- For OM4 patch cable it is 4700 MHz.km while for OM3 it is 2000 MHz.km.
Appearance and Dimensions
High Quality Fiber Optic Cable Guarantee
- High-performance polishing machine, and complemented by precision plates holders designed for MT ferrules.
- 3D interferometer provides verification of FC / SC / ST / LC polishing process and it makes all parameters of the polished ferrule, compliance with industry standards.
- The flexibility of the tester provides the complete spectrum of optical testing required for complex and high fiber count cable assemblies.
