APC Adapters

Molex FC connectors and adapters have been developed to meet the challenges of the Datacom and Telecom industries, including compatibility with many standard cable sizes and fiber types, adhering to industry mechanical and environmental standards
FC Fiber Optic connectors are specifically designed for telecommunication applications. The Molex FC and FC Angled Physical Contact (APC) connectors are designed to NTT-FC standards, provide true non-optical disconnect performance, and are fully compatible with existing FC hardware.
The pre-assembled, one-piece body design and pre-polished ferrules provide quick and economical terminations for in-factory and in-the-field settings. Additionally, the pre-polished ferrule and the Molex termination method ensure uniform endface geometry, resulting in consistent optical performance.
The FCAPC connectors have a precise, pre-angled, pre-radiused and pre-polished ferrule to deliver superior APC performance, available with or without NTT-FC standard, tight-fit key configuration. Since the ferrule endface geometry is especially critical in angled fiber optic connectors, Molex has developed a unique polishing process adhering to strict Telcordia GR-326 requirements. With this endface geometry, physical contact of the fibers is maintained ensuring a minimum insertion loss and a maximum return loss. Combining the pre-polished ferrule with the preassembled one-piece body design produces a superior performance APC connector that is easy to terminate in the factory or in the field.
