3M No Polish SC Connector
Singlemode and Multimode SC
3M No Polish Connector (NPC) enables fast, on-site
installation of 250 m and 900 m connections utilizing a
one piece, pre-assembled design.
The SC compatible connector consists of a factory-polished
ceramic ferrule, fiber stub and a mechanical splice that is
installed with a simple field tool. A bell-shaped boot is
attached to the connector body, minimizing the chance of
losing or forgetting to install the boot during the connection.
The no polish connector is tested for Premises and FTTP
applications for indoor and outdoor locations and is
available in SM, 62.5 m, 50 m and also 50 m LOMMF
(laser optimized multimode fiber) for 10 Gb applications.
The No Polish Connector is RoHS Compliant.
