Description
Why SC to FC with Armoured Construction
SC connectors are widely used on ODFs, patch panels, and FTTH distribution boxes, while FC connectors remain the preferred interface on optical test instruments, lasers, and legacy telecom gear because of their screw-lock precision alignment.
This SC-to-FC armoured jumper allows:
-
Stable lab-grade signal accuracy
-
Secure vibration-resistant connections
-
Direct linking of modern and legacy fiber systems
The metal-armoured cable adds protection against crushing, rodents, pulling stress, and accidental damage.

Professional FAQ
Q1: Why use FC instead of LC or SC on one side?
FC provides screw-lock stability and precision alignment, ideal for test equipment and lasers.
Q2: Is UPC suitable for telecom and FTTH?
Yes. UPC offers low insertion loss and good return loss, making it widely used in telecom and data networks.
Q3: Does armouring affect optical performance?
No. It only improves mechanical strength, not optical loss.
