Leviton Telcom 499SC-GN9 Fastsplice Sc Apc OS2 Connector

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 499SC-GN9 is a FastSplice SC-type fiber optic connector designed for single-mode (SM) APC (angled physical contact) terminations on OS2 fiber. This field-installable connector allows technicians to terminate OS2 single-mode fiber quickly without epoxy or polishing, using a mechanical splice mechanism built into the connector body. The APC polish angle reduces back-reflection, making it well-suited for applications where return loss performance is critical. It ships as a single unit and is handled by low-voltage cabling and fiber optic installation professionals.

This connector is used in single-mode fiber optic cabling infrastructure, including telecommunications rooms, data centers, and structured cabling runs that require SC-type APC terminations. The OS2 single-mode designation places it in applications involving longer cable runs and higher bandwidth demands than multimode fiber. It is appropriate for both new installations and field repair of existing SC SM APC fiber links.

Key Features

• FastSplice field-termination design eliminates the need for epoxy and polishing equipment
• SC connector form factor for compatibility with standard SC-port equipment
• APC (angled physical contact) polish minimizes back-reflection for signal-sensitive systems
• Rated for OS2 single-mode fiber cable
• Green housing color provides visual identification as an APC-polished connector per industry convention

Compatibility

Designed for use with OS2 single-mode fiber and standard SC APC-port equipment in structured fiber optic cabling systems. No specific model compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified low-voltage or fiber optic technicians following applicable cabling standards such as TIA-568 and TIA-526. Ensure the fiber end-face and cable jacket are properly prepared per the manufacturer termination procedure before engaging the mechanical splice mechanism. Inspect the connector end-face with a fiber inspection scope before mating to verify cleave quality and cleanliness. Do not force-mate a connector with a damaged or dirty end-face.
