Optical Cable Corp. RFC-SC8 Sc Single-mode Fiber Connector

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. RFC-SC8 is an SC-style connector designed for single-mode fiber optic cable in 250 and 900 micron buffer configurations. It provides a reliable, low-loss termination point for fiber runs in structured cabling systems, telecommunications closets, and data network installations. The SC connector uses a push-pull coupling mechanism that seats squarely and locks securely, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors typically install this connector during new fiber runs or field termination work.

This connector is suited for single-mode fiber applications in both commercial and light industrial environments. It is compatible with 250 micron bare fiber and 900 micron tight-buffered fiber, making it a practical choice for inside-plant horizontal and backbone cabling. Typical install scenarios include telecom rooms, data centers, and campus network infrastructure where SC-type ports are specified on patch panels, switches, or transceivers.

Key Features

• SC form factor with push-pull coupling for positive engagement and clean disconnect
• Compatible with both 250 micron and 900 micron single-mode fiber buffer sizes
• Designed for field termination of inside-plant single-mode fiber runs
• Sold individually, allowing precise quantity ordering for termination projects

Compatibility

Designed as a field-termination connector for single-mode fiber optic cable with 250 or 900 micron buffer diameters, compatible with SC-type ports on standard fiber optic patch panels, transceivers, and active equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or fiber optic specialists. Proper fiber preparation, including cleaving and cleaning, is required before termination to achieve acceptable insertion loss values. Follow TIA-568 or applicable structured cabling standards for termination procedures. Inspect the ferrule end-face with a fiber inspection scope before mating to any active port.
