Fiber optic connectors are ubiquitous in today's optical network. It is said that about 100 fiber optic connectors have been introduced to the marketplace, but only a few represent the majority of the market. For instance, fiber optic connectors, such as SC, LC, MPO, and MU etc. are widely used in access network which meet the demands of network interconnection. Fiberstore offers you a comprehensive solution with the high-quality fiber optic connector products which may satisfy your access network interconnections.

Ferrule Polishing Options
Polishing Type | Connection | Feature | Connector |
PC (Physical Contact) |
Ferrule and faces are polished sphercally so as to ensure fiber-to-fiber contact. This polishing type of ferrule guarantees a return loss of 25dB. | SC, FC, LC and MU etc. attached to multi-mode fiber or single-mode fiber | |
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) |
An evolution of PC polishing, this method achieves a return loss of 40dB. It is possible to connect with a PC-polished connector. In that case, however, performance is guaranteed according to the level of PC polishing achieved. | SC, FC, LC and MU etc. attached to multi-mode fiber or single-mode fiber | |
APC (Angled Physical Contact) |
APC is polished on an 8° angle. When compared with a normal PC connector, an APC connector exhibits better reflectance properties, because the angled polish reduces the amount of light reflected at the connector interface. | SC, ST, FC, LC and MU etc. only attached to single-mode fiber |
