FC PC 2.0/3.0mm Adjustable Fiber Optic Connector

A connector designed for precision and flexibility

The FC PC 2.0/3.0mm Adjustable fiber optic connector is built for manufacturers and network installers who need precise fiber alignment and consistent optical performance when terminating single-mode fiber cables.

It supports both 2.0mm and 3.0mm jacketed fibers, making it ideal for telecom patch cords, pigtails, and FTTH cable assemblies. The PC (Physical Contact) flat-polished ceramic ferrule ensures low insertion loss, while the adjustable ferrule structure allows fine control of fiber protrusion and end-face geometry during production.

Description

Why choose an adjustable FC connector?

In high-quality fiber assemblies, even a few microns of fiber height can affect optical loss.
That’s why adjustable connectors are preferred in professional cable manufacturing.

With this adjustable FC PC connector, you can:

  • Precisely control fiber end-face position

  • Achieve better polishing results

  • Reduce insertion loss variation

  • Improve yield in mass production

This is especially valuable for companies like Changzhou Fenxi Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., where stable quality and high-volume output matter.


Compatible with 2.0mm and 3.0mm fiber cables

Cable Diameter Typical Use
2.0mm Indoor patch cords, device jumpers
3.0mm Telecom and backbone patch cords

One connector design supports both sizes, making inventory and production much easier.

Professional Q&A

Q1: What advantage does the adjustable structure give?
It allows the ferrule position to be fine-tuned during polishing and assembly, giving better control of fiber end-face geometry and more stable optical performance.


Q2: Is FC PC suitable for FTTH systems?
Yes. FC PC connectors are widely used in FTTH, telecom, and enterprise networks where low insertion loss and reliable mechanical connection are required.


Q3: Can FC PC connect to FC APC?
No. PC and APC have different end-face geometry. They should never be mated together, as it causes high loss and may damage the ferrules.
