FIBCONET manufactures fiber optic conectores e adaptadores covering the full range of formats used in FTTH access, data-centre cabinets, telecom central offices and outdoor deployments — from standard SC / LC / FC / ST / MPO / MTRJ / E2000 to IP67 / IP68 impermeable outdoor-rated connectors and field-assembly (fast) connectors for on-site termination.
Every connector and adapter ships after 100% factory inspection — end-face 3D interferometer for MPO, insertion loss and return loss measurement on all fiber types, and mating durability verification against IEC 61754 e Telcordia GR-326-CORE (Clase R) methodology. Ferrules are Sanhuan (Sumitomo on request), and connector bodies come in standard telecom grade through outdoor waterproof PEI / PDLC housings.
An adapter (also called coupler or mating sleeve) is the passive component that joins two connectors face-to-face inside an ODF panel, patch panel, wall plate or termination box. It aligns the two ferrules within tight concentricity tolerance so the light passes across the junction with minimum loss and reflection.
| Connector Format | Sleeve Material | Perda de inserción típica | Perda de retorno |
|---|---|---|---|
| SC | Cerámica (zirconia) | ≤ 0.2 dB | UPC ≥ 50 dB; APC ≥ 55 dB |
| LC | Cerámica (zirconia) | ≤ 0.2 dB | UPC ≥ 50 dB; APC ≥ 55 dB |
| FC | Cerámica (zirconia) | ≤ 0.2 dB | UPC ≥ 50 dB; APC ≥ 55 dB |
| ST | Cerámica (zirconia) | ≤ 0.2 dB | UPC ≥ 50 dB |
| MPO / MTP | Precision-molded polymer with pin alignment | ≤ 0.35 dB average (baixa perda) | ≥ 55 dB (APC) |
| E2000, MTRJ, MU | Cerámica | ≤ 0.2 dB | UPC ≥ 50 dB; APC ≥ 55 dB |
Dispoñible en simplex, duplex and quad configuracións, with mounting flanges for standard ODF drawer, wall plate, patch panel and custom panel cutouts. Colour coding follows the industry convention — blue for UPC, green for APC, aqua for OM3/OM4, lime green for OM5, beige for OM1/OM2 — so any technician can identify the format at a glance.
Our connector line splits into three families depending on how the fiber is terminated:
| Tipo | Método de rescisión | Mellor para |
|---|---|---|
| Factory-Terminated Connector (polished on our patch cord line) | Fusion-splice, epoxy + polish in factory | Cordóns de conexión, coletas, ODF pre-terminated cabling — highest and most consistent optical performance |
| Field-Assembly (Fast) Conector | Mechanical splice on-site, no fusion splicer required | FTTH field deployment, terminación de cable de caída, emergency repair — see our dedicated Fast Connector category for the full line |
| Impermeable / Outdoor Connector (PDLC, PEI, IP67 / IP68) | Pre-terminated cable assembly with sealed housing | Base-station RRU, outdoor equipment, telecom compatibility (HW / ZTE / Ericsson), harsh-environment interconnect |
For pre-terminated cable assemblies, connectors are integrated onto FIBCONET patch cords in-house — giving you traceable ferrule origin, insertion loss test report per core, and consistent batch performance. For field-assembly connectors, our dedicated Fast Connector category covers threaded self-locking, boca de caimán, drawer-type, CCTC single-ceramic, three-ring double-ceramic and other field-installable formats used in FTTH last-mile projects.
All three describe how the ferrule end-face is polished, and each gives a different return loss value.
| Tipo polaco | Perda de retorno | Where to Use |
|---|---|---|
| PC (Contacto físico) | ≥ 40 dB | Legacy telecom, low-cost general use — largely superseded by UPC |
| UPC (Contacto Ultra Físico) | ≥ 50 dB | Data centres, redes empresariais, most FTTH indoor cabling — the mainstream default |
| APC (Contacto físico angulado, 8° polish) | ≥ 55 dB | LUN / FTTH outside plant, CATV RF-over-glass, DWDM — anywhere high return loss is critical to prevent signal reflection |
Rule of thumb: use APC (green connector) for anything carrying an RF-modulated signal or a PON drop; UPC (blue connector) for standard data traffic. Never mate UPC to APC — the polish angle mismatch will introduce significant loss and can damage the ferrules.
| Parámetro | Valor |
|---|---|
| Cumprimento / test standards | IEC 61754, Telcordia GR-326-CORE Class R, IEC 61300 Clase U |
| Perda de inserción (típico) | ≤ 0.2 dB standard connector; ≤ 0.35 dB low-loss MPO; down to 0.15 dB with imported ferrules |

| Waterproof rating (outdoor connectors) | IP67 / IP68 |
| Ferrule materials | Zirconia ceramic (default Sanhuan; Sumitomo on request); precision-molded polymer with pin alignment (MPO) |
| Housing materials | Standard plastic (interior); PEI or PDLC engineering plastic (ao aire libre / a proba de auga) |
Standard SC / LC / FC / ST adapters and connectors ship from stock without a strict MOQ — sample and trial orders are welcome. Os conectores MPO normalmente comezan en 100 unidades. Conectores impermeables e compatibles con telecomunicacións (É un conector universal para exteriores 3 en 1 desenvolvido por Fibconet / ZTE / Ericsson) cítanse por proxecto dependendo da especificación da vivenda.
A conector é o enchufe do extremo dun cable de fibra: suxeita a férula e remata a fibra. An adaptador (also called coupler or mating sleeve) é a unión pasiva que une dous conectores cara a cara, aliñando os seus casquillos para a transferencia de sinal de baixa perda. Cada ODF, O panel de conexión ou a placa de parede usa adaptadores para recibir conectores entrantes de cables de conexión ou coletas.
Use APC (green connector, 8° esmaltado en ángulo) para calquera PON / Enlace FTTH fóra da planta, CATV RF-over-glass, e DWDM: en calquera lugar que a luz reflectida poida interferir co sinal. Use UPC (blue connector) para tráfico de datos estándar en centros de datos, redes empresariais e a maioría do cableado interior. Never mate UPC to APC — the angle mismatch causes major loss and can damage the ferrules.
