Panduit FSCS2/9SOCA9AG Fiber Sc-apc Splice-on Connector

Product Description

The PANDUIT FSCS2/9SOCA9AG is a fiber optic SC-APC splice-on connector designed for field termination of optical fiber cables. Splice-on connectors combine the low-loss performance of a factory-polished ferrule with the flexibility of field installation, eliminating the need for epoxy and polishing at the job site. This connector uses an angled physical contact (APC) ferrule geometry, which reduces back-reflection and is specified for applications where return loss performance is critical. It is installed by licensed low-voltage technicians and fiber optic specialists working on structured cabling infrastructure.

This connector is suited for use in single-mode fiber installations where APC termination is required. Typical deployment scenarios include telecommunications rooms, data centers, and building backbone cabling systems. The SC form factor provides a push-pull coupling mechanism that is widely used in patch panels, wall outlets, and fiber distribution hardware. It is sold as an individual unit and is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit termination work.

Key Features

• SC-APC ferrule geometry for low back-reflection performance in single-mode applications
• Splice-on installation method eliminates field polishing and epoxy
• Push-pull SC coupling mechanism compatible with standard SC adapter ports
• Factory-polished ferrule end-face for consistent insertion loss performance
• Sold as individual unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style field termination connector for use with single-mode optical fiber cable in SC-APC infrastructure applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified fiber optic technician using a fusion splicer compatible with splice-on connector tooling. De-energize any active fiber links and follow standard laser safety procedures before handling fiber ends. Cleave the fiber to the manufacturer-specified length before seating it in the connector body. Reference TIA-568 and applicable local structured cabling standards for termination and testing requirements.
