Optical Cable Corp. RFC-SC6 Sc Fiber Optic Connector

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. RFC-SC6 is an SC-style fiber optic connector designed for use with 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber cable. It terminates 250-micron buffered or 900-micron tight-buffered fiber, making it suitable for both loose-tube and tight-buffered indoor cable assemblies. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and structured cabling installers use this connector when building or restoring multimode fiber runs in commercial and industrial environments. The SC push-pull coupling mechanism provides a secure, repeatable mating interface and is among the most widely deployed connector form factors in premises networking installations.

This connector is suited for indoor multimode fiber terminations in commercial buildings, data centers, server rooms, and campus backbone runs. It is compatible with 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber in both 250-micron bare buffer and 900-micron tight-buffer configurations, covering the most common multimode cable constructions found in structured cabling installations. Installers working on horizontal runs, riser cables, or patch panel terminations will find the RFC-SC6 applicable to standard SC-port equipment and fiber distribution hardware.

Key Features

• SC form factor with push-pull latching for secure, tool-free mating and disconnection
• Compatible with 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber for standard premises networking applications
• Accepts both 250-micron and 900-micron buffer diameters to cover common cable constructions
• Single-unit packaging for field termination and repair work
• Fits standard SC-port patch panels, wall plates, and fiber distribution frames

Compatibility

Designed as a field-termination connector for 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber cable with 250-micron or 900-micron buffer, compatible with standard SC-port fiber optic equipment and distribution hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or structured cabling installer familiar with fiber optic termination procedures. Power down or disconnect active transceivers before handling fiber connectors to avoid exposure to laser light. Proper cleaving, polishing, and cleaning of the fiber end-face are required to achieve acceptable insertion loss; follow the connector manufacturer's termination procedure and use an appropriate inspection scope to verify end-face quality before mating.
