What is SC PC connector?

SC, abbreviated for Subscriber Connector, has also been referred to as Square Connector or Standard Connector. It’s a popular fiber-optic connector due to its low-cost, durability and simple installation for both point-to-point and passive optical networking.

What is SC and LC fiber?

LC was designed as a push-pull connector that locks in place with a latch. SC is arguably the most common type of fiber optic connector used today. Designed to be simple to use and inexpensive to produce, SC uses a push-pull design similar to LC but utilizes a locking tab instead of a latch to secure the unit.

Which is better LC or SC?

As for the question “SC vs LC: what’s the difference and which one is better?”, you just need to keep three basic points in mind: 1. SC has a larger connector housing and a larger 2.5mm ferrule. LC has a smaller connector housing and a smaller 1.25mm ferrule.

What does SC and LC stand for?

LC stands for Lucent Connector and was developed by Lucent Technologies in the 1990s. LC connector is a small form-factor fiber optic connector and was developed to replace SC connector due to their smaller size. SC stands for Subscriber Connector or Square Connector or Standard Connector.

What’s the difference between LC and SC fiber optic connectors?

Figure 3: The fundamental difference between LC and SC fiber-optic connectors lies in size and connection handling. SC is a push-pull connector, while LC employs a latch as opposed to SC’s locking tab. (Image Source: 3M) When it comes to cost comparison, SC connectors can be manufactured at a lower price, so they cost less than LC connectors.

What kind of connector is a SC connector?

Developed by the laboratories at Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) in the mid-eighties, SC connector was one of the first connectors to hit the market following the advent of ceramic ferrules. Sometimes referred to as the “square connector” the SC has a push-pull coupling end face with a spring loaded ceramic ferrule.
