SC UPC 2.0/3.0mm All-Plastic Series | Professional Fiber Termination Solutions

The SC UPC 2.0/3.0mm All-Plastic connector represents the industry standard for high-performance, cost-effective fiber optic connectivity. Engineered for both Single-mode (OS2) and Multimode (OM1-OM5) applications, this series utilizes an advanced engineering polymer internal frame instead of a metallic bulkhead. This design choice is specifically optimized for high-volume network deployments where weight reduction, non-conductivity, and economic scalability are the primary project drivers.

As a versatile component for Enterprise LANs, FTTH distribution, and Central Office patching, this series provides a robust termination for both 2.0mm and 3.0mm jacketed cables, ensuring a secure and stable interface for modern high-bandwidth services.

Description

🛠 Material Engineering & Internal Architecture

By moving to an All-Plastic internal retention system, we have optimized the connector for the requirements of modern indoor and protected outdoor environments.

  • Dielectric Construction: The 100% non-metallic internal frame ensures total electrical isolation. This makes the connector immune to EMI/RFI interference and provides a safe termination solution in proximity to power lines or in lightning-prone areas.

  • Corrosion-Proof Stability: Unlike zinc or brass components that may oxidize in high-humidity or “hot-aisle” data center environments, the high-performance polymer remains chemically inert, maintaining its latching integrity for decades.

  • Precision Ferrule Alignment: Each unit features a Premium Zirconia Ceramic Ferrule with a concentricity tolerance of $\le 0.5\mu m$ for Single-mode. The plastic frame is molded to micron-level tolerances to ensure the ferrule remains perfectly centered.

  • Axial Load Management: The internal polymer clips are designed to provide a “controlled-grip” on the ferrule. This allows the spring to maintain constant physical contact (UPC) without the risk of mechanical fatigue common in lower-grade plastic connectors.


🏗 Deployment Scenarios: Where “All-Plastic” Excels

The SC All-Plastic series is strategically used across several key infrastructure tiers:

1. High-Density Data Center Patching

In modern hyper-scale facilities, weight management on cable trays and ODFs (Optical Distribution Frames) is a major concern. The lighter profile of the All-Plastic SC connector reduces the cumulative load on rack ports, preventing physical sagging and potential alignment issues over time.

2. Fiber to the Home (FTTH) Subscriber Outlets

For large-scale residential rollouts, cost-per-connection is critical. The All-Plastic series offers a carrier-grade performance profile ($IL \le 0.20dB$) at a highly competitive price point, making it the preferred choice for subscriber ONT connections and wall outlets.

3. Industrial Control & Medical Imaging

In environments requiring non-magnetic components (such as MRI suites) or spark-free connectors (chemical plants), the non-metallic architecture of this SC connector provides an essential layer of operational safety.
