Description
SC UPC 0.9mm Multimode All-Plastic | High-Density Internal Interconnects
The SC UPC 0.9mm Multimode All-Plastic series is a ultra-lightweight, space-saving termination solution tailored for internal fiber management. Specifically engineered for 0.9mm tight-buffer fibers, this connector eliminates unnecessary bulk by utilizing a high-performance polymer architecture. It is the go-to choice for optical splitter modules, MPO-to-SC fan-out kits, and compact patch panels where hundreds of fibers must be routed within a confined enclosure.
Designed for the high-speed demands of Enterprise LANs and Data Centers, these components support the full range of multimode fibers (OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4), providing a reliable, snap-lock interface that simplifies internal cabling complexity.
🏗️ Design Innovation: Lightweight Precision
In 0.9mm applications, the goal is to maximize density without sacrificing the delicate nature of the buffered fiber. The All-Plastic design addresses this through:
-
Miniaturized Footprint: By removing metallic stops, the connector achieves a lower mass profile, reducing the cumulative weight on sensitive internal trays and preventing fiber “sag” in high-density ODFs.
-
Thermal Expansion Matching: Using engineering-grade thermoplastics that mirror the expansion rates of fiber buffer materials, ensuring the Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) remains stable across varying server room temperatures.
-
Snap-and-Go Assembly: The all-plastic internal frame is optimized for rapid factory-level termination, featuring a high-precision clip system that securely seats the zirconia ferrule without the need for complex metal tooling.
-
EMI/RFI Neutrality: 100% non-metallic construction makes these connectors ideal for use in environments with high electromagnetic interference, such as medical imaging suites or power substation control rooms.

💡 Multi-Fiber Routing & FAQ
Q: Why use All-Plastic for Multimode 0.9mm instead of Zinc or Metal-Stop?
A: 0.9mm fiber lacks the heavy outer jacket and Kevlar found in 3.0mm cables. A metal stop is often “over-engineering” for these lightweight fibers. The All-Plastic version provides the exact amount of tension required to maintain optical contact while keeping the per-port cost and weight at a minimum.
Q: Are these connectors compatible with OM4 40G/100G Ethernet?
A: Yes. While the housing is plastic, the heart of the connector is a Premium Zirconia Ferrule. We use high-precision bores that ensure the light core of OM3 and OM4 fibers is perfectly aligned for VCSEL-based high-speed transmission.
Q: How does the 0.9mm boot differ from standard boots?
A: The 0.9mm boot is a “short-shroud” design. It provides enough bend-radius protection to prevent micro-bends at the connector entry point but is short enough to allow the fiber to be coiled tightly inside small splice trays or cassette modules.
Q: Does this kit support anaerobic “field-fast” adhesives?
A: Absolutely. The internal plastic frame is compatible with both traditional heat-cure epoxies and rapid-cure anaerobic adhesives, making it a versatile choice for both factory assembly lines and field repair kits.
