FIBCONET inogadzira fiber optic connectors uye adapters 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 isina mvura 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 uye Telcordia GR-326-CORE (Kirasi 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 | Typical Insertion Kurasikirwa | Dzorera Kurasika |
|---|---|---|---|
| SC | Ceramic (zirconia) | ≤ 0.2 dB | UPC ≥ 50 dB; APC ≥ 55 dB |
| LC | Ceramic (zirconia) | ≤ 0.2 dB | UPC ≥ 50 dB; APC ≥ 55 dB |
| FC | Ceramic (zirconia) | ≤ 0.2 dB | UPC ≥ 50 dB; APC ≥ 55 dB |
| ST | Ceramic (zirconia) | ≤ 0.2 dB | UPC ≥ 50 dB |
| MPO / MTP | Precision-molded polymer with pin alignment | ≤ 0.35 dB average (kuderera-kurasikirwa) | ≥ 55 dB (APC) |
| E2000, MTRJ, MU | Ceramic | ≤ 0.2 dB | UPC ≥ 50 dB; APC ≥ 55 dB |
Inowanikwa mu simplex, duplex and quad configurations, 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:
| Type | Kugumisa nzira | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Factory-Terminated Connector (polished on our patch cord line) |
Fusion-splice, epoxy + polish in factory | Chigamba tambo, pigtails, ODF pre-terminated cabling — highest and most consistent optical performance |
| Field-Assembly (Fast) Connector | Mechanical splice on-site, no fusion splicer required | FTTH field deployment, drop-cable kuguma, emergency repair — see our dedicated Fast Connector category for the full line |
| Isingapindi mvura / 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, alligator-muromo, 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.
| Polish Type | Dzorera Kurasika | Where to Use |
|---|---|---|
| PC (Kuonana kwepanyama) | ≥ 40 dB | Legacy telecom, low-cost general use — largely superseded by UPC |
| UPC (Ultra yekubata muviri) | ≥ 50 dB | Data centers, Enterprise Networks, most FTTH indoor cabling — the mainstream default |
| APC (Skled Excent Excent, 8° polish) | ≥ 55 dB | MON / FTTH kunze chirimwa, CATV RF-pamusoro-girazi, DWDM — anywhere high return loss is critical to prevent signal reflection |
Kutonga kwechigunwe: kushandisa APC (green connector) kune chero chinhu chinotakura chiratidzo cheRF-modulated kana kudonha kwePON; UPC (blue connector) kune yakajairwa data traffic. Usambofa wakaroora UPC kune APC - iyo yekupolish angle yekusawirirana ichaunza kurasikirwa kukuru uye inogona kukuvadza ferrules..

Standard SC / LC / FC / ST adapters and connectors ship from stock without a strict MOQ — sample and trial orders are welcome. MPO connectors typically start at 100 Units. Waterproof and telecom-compatible connectors (Huawei / ZTE / Ericsson) are quoted per project depending on housing spec.
A connector is the plug at the end of a fiber cable — it holds the ferrule and terminates the fiber. An adapta (also called coupler or mating sleeve) is the passive junction that joins two connectors face-to-face, aligning their ferrules for low-loss signal transfer. Every ODF, patch panel or wall plate uses adapters to receive incoming connectors from patch cords or pigtails.
Shandisa APC (green connector, 8° angled polish) for any PON / FTTH outside plant link, CATV RF-pamusoro-girazi, and DWDM — anywhere reflected light could interfere with the signal. Shandisa UPC (blue connector) for standard data traffic in data centres, enterprise networks and most indoor cabling. Never mate UPC to APC — the angle mismatch causes major loss and can damage the ferrules.
Ehe. We manufacture IP67 and IP68 waterproof connectors in PDLC and PEI housings, inoenderana neHuawei, ZTE, Ericsson and other major telecom equipment vendors. Please specify the target equipment model at RFQ stage so we can confirm the correct housing and interface spec.
Ehe. Every shipment includes 100% factory test results (magumo-chiso, kuisa kurasikirwa, kudzokera kurasikirwa). Electronic test report in FLUKE kana EXFO fomati are available on request — useful for project acceptance and customer audit.
