Optical Cable Corp. AFC-FCAPC-2MM-GRN Fc Apc Fiber Connector

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. AFC-FCAPC-2MM-GRN is an FC-style fiber optic connector designed for single-mode (SM) fiber with an angled physical contact (APC) polish. It uses an epoxy termination method and accepts a 2mm cable jacket, with a green housing that follows the industry convention for APC single-mode connectors. This connector is installed by fiber optic technicians and low-voltage cabling professionals during field termination of single-mode fiber runs in structured cabling, telecom, and data distribution applications.

This connector is suited for single-mode fiber optic installations requiring APC terminations, where return loss performance is critical. The epoxy termination process involves inserting the fiber, applying adhesive, curing, and polishing the ferrule end-face to achieve the angled finish. Typical install scenarios include telecom closets, fiber distribution panels, and equipment rooms where FC-style coupling adapters are present. It is sold as an individual connector, allowing technicians to terminate fiber runs to exact lengths in the field.

Key Features

• FC connector style with APC angled end-face polish for low back-reflection on single-mode fiber
• Epoxy termination method for reliable, field-terminated connections
• Compatible with 2mm jacket diameter single-mode fiber cable
• Green housing follows industry color-coding standard for APC single-mode connectors
• Sold individually, allowing precise quantities for field termination jobs

Compatibility

Designed for field termination onto 2mm jacketed single-mode fiber optic cable using FC-style APC coupling adapters.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or fiber optic technician familiar with epoxy-and-polish termination procedures. The fiber end must be cleaved cleanly before insertion, and the epoxy must be fully cured before polishing the ferrule face. Use appropriate polishing film and inspection tools to verify the APC end-face geometry meets performance standards before putting the connector into service. Ensure all mating adapters are FC APC-type to match the angled ferrule and prevent damage to the end-face.
