FC Connectors and Adapters

The Molex FC connector series connectors and adapters are designed to NTT-FC* standards and provides true non-optical disconnect performance. They are fully compatible with existing FC hardware. This connector system utilizes a threaded coupling mechanism.

The Molex pre-assembled, 1-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.

The Molex connector mating is achieved by using bulkhead feed-through adapters. These adapters combine a metal housing and either a precision ceramic or a rugged metal alignment sleeve. Flange mount or "D" hole mount adapter styles are available.
