FC/APC Connectors and Adapters

The Molex FC Angled Physical Contact (APC) connector series combines a NTT-FC* connector design with a precise, pre-angled, pre-radiused and pre-polished ferrule to deliver superior APC performance. This connector is available with either the NTT-FC standard or non-standard, tight fit key configuration.

In angled fiber optic connectors, the ferrule endface geometry is especially critical. This is the reason Molex has developed a unique polishing process which adheres to the strict Telcordia GR-326 requirements. With this endface geometry, physical contact of the fibers is maintained ensuring a minimum insertion loss and a maximum return loss. Combining the pre-polished ferrule with the preassembled 1-piece body design produces a superior performance APC connector that is easy to terminate in either the factory or in the field.
