SC UPC 0.9mm All-Plastic Termination Series | High-Density Pigtail Solution

The SC UPC 0.9mm All-Plastic connector is the industry standard for high-density, internal-only fiber terminations. Engineered specifically for 0.9mm tight-buffer fiber, this model strips away the unnecessary bulk of metal components to provide a lightweight, space-efficient interface. It is the primary choice for FTTH subscriber outlets, PLC splitter terminations, and high-density MPO-to-SC breakout cassettes where every millimeter of routing space is critical.

By utilizing a high-tenacity polymer internal frame, this connector delivers the precision of a factory-grade finish with the economic advantages of an all-plastic architecture, making it the most cost-effective solution for large-scale fiber rollouts.

Description

🏗️ Design Focus: Compact Efficiency

In the world of 0.9mm pigtails, “less is more.” The design of this all-plastic series focuses on three core engineering pillars:

  • Mass-Reduction Engineering: The absence of metal stops and heavy crimp rings allows for a “featherweight” connector. This prevents strain on delicate 0.9mm fibers when they are bundled in large quantities inside a single splice tray or ODF.

  • Non-Conductive Safety: The 100% polymer construction ensures zero conductivity. This is a critical requirement for “Fiber to the Antenna” (FTTA) or industrial environments where lightning protection and electrical isolation are mandatory.

  • Streamlined 0.9mm Booting: The specialized mini-boot is designed to provide maximum bend-radius protection within the shortest possible distance, allowing the fiber to transition safely into tight coils within small-form-factor wall outlets.

  • Ultra Physical Contact (UPC): The zirconia ferrule is optimized for a spherical UPC polish, ensuring a stable Return Loss of ≥50dB, which is the gold standard for digital telecommunications and high-speed internet services.


📉 Optical & Mechanical Benchmarks

While the housing is lightweight, the performance is strictly carrier-grade. We use the same premium ferrules found in our industrial-metal series:

Metric Performance Level Standard Reference
Fiber Diameter 0.9mm Tight-Buffer G.652.D / G.657.A1
Housing Material UL 94V-0 High-Impact Polymer Flame Retardant
Insertion Loss (IL) Typical ≤ 0.15 dB | Max ≤ 0.30 dB IEC 61300-3-4
Return Loss (RL) ≥ 50 dB (UPC) IEC 61300-3-6
Operating Temp -40°C to +85°C Bellcore GR-326
Vibration Resistance < 0.1 dB change MIL-STD-202

💡 Practical Insights for Buyers & Engineers

Q: Why use All-Plastic for 0.9mm pigtails instead of a Zinc-Stop?

A: 0.9mm fiber does not have the Aramid yarn (Kevlar) found in 2.0mm/3.0mm cables, so there is no need for a heavy-duty metal crimp-stop. The All-Plastic architecture provides the perfect balance of retention and economy for internal wiring where external mechanical pulling is not a factor.

Q: Is this connector compatible with both Single-mode and Multimode fiber?

A: While this specific Blue-Housed model is the standard for Single-mode (OS2) UPC, the all-plastic mechanical body is identical for Multimode versions. The only difference is the internal bore diameter of the zirconia ferrule (125µm for SM vs. 127µm for MM).

Q: Can these be used for field splicing?

A: Yes. These are most commonly used to create Field-Spliced Pigtails. Technicians splice the 0.9mm fiber lead onto the incoming cable, and the SC All-Plastic connector provides the final interface for the patch panel or customer ONT.

Q: What is the packaging standard for bulk orders?

A: As a manufacturer, we provide these as Full-Kit Bulk Packs. Each kit includes the SC Blue Housing, Zirconia Ferrule, high-tension Spring, Plastic Internal Frame, and the 0.9mm Blue Mini-Boot—shipped in modular trays to prevent ferrule contamination.
