FC PC 0.9mm Adjustable Fiber Optic Connector

Product Overview

The FC PC 0.9mm Adjustable Fiber Optic Connector is designed for high-precision termination of tight-buffered (0.9 mm) single-mode fibers used in telecommunications, FTTH, CATV, and test equipment.
By combining a PC (Physical Contact) flat-polished ferrule with an adjustable ferrule structure, this connector allows installers and manufacturers to fine-tune the fiber protrusion and end-face geometry, achieving optimal optical performance and consistent connector quality.

With its threaded FC metal coupling, the connector provides secure, vibration-resistant mating, making it highly suitable for central offices, ODF frames, laboratory instruments, and industrial optical systems.

Why Choose an Adjustable FC PC 0.9mm Connector?

Compared with non-adjustable connectors, the adjustable FC PC 0.9mm provides:

  • More precise fiber end-face control

  • Better consistency in polishing results

  • Lower insertion loss across batches

  • Higher yield in cable assembly production

This makes it especially suitable for professional fiber optic manufacturers and high-end cable assemblies.


Professional Q&A

Q1: What is the advantage of an adjustable FC connector?
A: The adjustable design allows the ferrule to be precisely positioned during assembly and polishing, ensuring optimal fiber protrusion and end-face geometry, which leads to lower loss and more consistent performance.


Q2: Is FC PC compatible with FC APC?
A: No. FC PC (flat polish) and FC APC (angled polish) connectors should not be mated together, as this can cause high insertion loss and potential ferrule damage.


Q3: Why is 0.9mm commonly used for pigtails and patch cords?
A: 0.9mm tight-buffer fiber is flexible, compact, and ideal for indoor use, making it perfect for fiber pigtails, patch cords, and equipment interconnections.
