Key Features

Engineered For Performance

Ultimate Back-Reflection Suppression

Combines FC threaded coupling stability with APC 8-degree angle polish for the highest return loss performance, eliminating optical reflections in sensitive analog systems.

CATV & RF-over-Fiber Ready

≥60dB return loss meets the stringent requirements of analog CATV head-end equipment, RF-over-fiber systems, and wavelength-sensitive DWDM applications.

Secure Threaded Connection

Screw-type coupling prevents accidental disconnection in vibrating equipment racks and ensures stable optical alignment during continuous operation.

Precision Factory Polish

Every FC/APC pigtail undergoes automated interferometric inspection to verify angled end-face geometry and surface quality before shipping.

Typical Applications

01

Analog CATV Networks

FC/APC pigtails at CATV head-end transmitters, EDFAs, and receivers where back-reflections cause composite second order (CSO) and composite triple beat (CTB) distortion.

02

High-Sensitivity Optical Systems

Precision fiber termination for optical sensors, interferometric measurement systems, and coherent detection receivers requiring minimal back-reflection.

03

DWDM & Amplifier Splicing

FC/APC pigtail termination on DWDM multiplexers, optical amplifiers, and dispersion compensating modules in long-haul telecom transmission systems.
