Specification of ADAPTER SC, SM, UPC, SIMPLEX

1. Connector Type:
SC (Subscriber Connector) — a popular standard fiber optic connector with a mechanical “push-pull” latch for easy connection and disconnection. Provides reliable and stable connection.

2. Fiber Type:
SM (Singlemode) — singlemode fiber with a small core diameter (~8-10 µm), designed for long-distance transmission with minimal loss.

3. Polish Type:
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) — high-precision straight polish of the connector end-face, ensuring low back reflection (usually ≤ -55 dB) and stable signal quality.

4. Configuration:
Simplex — an adapter for connecting a single optical fiber, i.e., one transmission channel (unlike duplex, which has two channels).

5. Housing Material:
Usually ceramic body (for precise fiber alignment) with plastic or metal outer casing.

6. Application:
Used in optical communication networks, telecommunications, data centers for connecting singlemode fibers with SC connectors.

7. Technical Parameters:
Insertion loss: ~0.2 – 0.3 dB
Return loss: ≥55 dB
Operating wavelength range: 1260 – 1625 nm
Operating temperature: from -40°C to +85°C
Compliance with IEC and Telcordia GR-326 standards
