PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
Orientek SC/UPC Single-Mode FTTH Fast Connector
The Orientek SC/UPC is a field-assembly fiber optic connector for terminating single-mode FTTH drop cable. It supports 2.0 × 3.0 mm rectangular flat drop cable and provides an SC/UPC connection without epoxy or field polishing.
Designed for optical access installations and fiber maintenance, this fast connector allows installers to terminate cable at the required length on site. Applications include new FTTH connections, replacement terminations, and restoration of damaged fiber links.
Key Features
- SC connector with UPC end-face polish.
- Designed for single-mode fiber.
- Accepts 2.0 × 3.0 mm flat FTTH drop cable.
- Supports 250 µm coated fiber.
- No epoxy, adhesives, or field polishing required.
- Field assembly for installation and repair work.
Field Termination
On-site assembly supports custom cable lengths and replacement of damaged terminations. Follow the installation procedure supplied with the connector for fiber preparation and assembly.
Connection Requirements
Select this connector for installations requiring an SC/UPC termination. Verify the cable construction and fiber requirements before installation, and match the UPC end face to the mating optical connection.
Important: Do not directly mate UPC and APC connector end faces. An SC connector housing alone does not establish compatibility.
Ideal Applications
- FTTH subscriber drop termination.
- FTTx optical access wiring.
- Field connector replacement.
- Fiber network maintenance and restoration.
Compatible Products
Cable termination requires single-mode fiber with a 250 µm coating and a supported 2.0 × 3.0 mm flat drop cable construction. The completed optical connection must match the required SC/UPC interface.
- Orientek TCC-550 Fiber Optic Connector Cleaner – Suitable for cleaning exposed SC connector end faces before connection.
Important: Do not directly mate this UPC termination with an APC end face. Compatibility with a particular ONU, ONT, OLT, transceiver, or cable model requires verification of that product's optical interface and fiber requirements. Cleaning-tool compatibility does not establish network-equipment compatibility.
