SC Connectors

SC Connectors, or standard connectors, can also be called a square connector or subscriber connector or Sam Charlie connector. SC Connectors were developed by NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone), a Japanese telecom company, under the original name “Subscriber Connector”. Known for its low cost and push-pull mechanism, SC has become the popular choice for PONs (Passive Optical Networks), converters and telecommunications over ST connectors. Most of these applications use SC Connectors with APC ferrules. Assembly of the SC Connector is similar to the assembly of LC Connector, however due to its ferrule diameter, there is specific equipment needed to assemble the SC.
