Product Overview
SC Field Assembly Fast Connector is part of the field assembly/fast connector range built by Ever Expresslink Limited in Ningbo, China. It is built on the SC (Subscriber Connector) interface.
Specifications SC Field Assembly Optical Connector SC Field Assembly Optical Connector Specifications SC Quick Assembly Connector, Fast Connector: Factory-installed fiber stub No epoxy or polishing required Quick Assembly Connector Quick Assembly SC connector can provide quick and easy terminations of fibers in the field, and options are available for 900 micron and 250 micron. It allows the installer to terminate and make connection in minutes at equipment and fiber patch panels. This connector system removes any requirement for epoxy, adhesives or costly curing ovens, with features of high installation quality, high success rate and high reliability. OFS/SC900: (for dia. 0.9 tight buffer optical fiber) OFS/SC900B: (for dia. 2.0-3.0 indoor optical cable) OFS/SC250P: (for 3.1×2.0 indoor optical drop cable) Features : Factory-installed fiber stub No epoxy or polishing required Quick and easy fiber termination in the field Eliminates cable excess length and pigtail splice storage Cost effective Application : Distribution frames Maintenance or emergency restoration of fiber networks FTTH Outlets Patch panels Order Information: EL-FA-SC/APC SC/APC connector EL-FA-SC/PC SC/PC connector
It is the workhorse of FTTH and passive optical distribution: a technician can seat a port blind, inside a closure, wearing gloves, without rotating anything. SC bodies clip together into duplex pairs. Check polarity before you clip, because a reversed duplex clip is easy to build and hard to spot in a cabinet.
Key Benefits
- Supplied as SC Field Assembly Fast Connector, so the part you receive matches the designation you ordered against
- No fusion splicer, no power and no splice protection sleeve needed
- Termination in minutes rather than a splicing setup cycle
- Re-usable versions let a failed termination be corrected on the spot
- Visual confirmation of fiber insertion on designs that provide it
Problems It Solves
- Fusion splicers that are too expensive to put in every van
- Drop terminations that need doing in a stairwell with no power
- Emergency restoration where a splicer is not available
- Training burden for crews who only terminate occasionally
Application Scenarios
- Enterprise backbone links
- Enterprise fiber repairs by non-specialist staff
- Terminating a subscriber drop at the premises
- Restoring a broken patch cord in a live cabinet
- MDU riser terminations where a splicer cannot be set up
Who It Is For
- FTTH drop installation crews
- Broadband service call technicians
- Building and MDU cabling contractors
- Maintenance crews doing emergency restoration
Technical Features
- SC (Subscriber Connector) interface
- SC bodies clip together into duplex pairs. Check polarity before you clip, because a reversed duplex clip is easy to build and hard to spot in a cabinet.
- Mechanical splice with index-matching gel
- Hand-tool assembly with no power required
- Designs for 250 µm, 900 µm and drop cable
- SC and FC bodies in UPC and APC polish
Materials
- Zirconia ceramic ferrule with pre-polished stub
- Index-matching gel
- Mechanical splice element

Manufacturing Process
- Stub fiber termination and polish in the factory
- End-face inspection of every stub
- Mechanical splice element assembly
- Gel dosing and sealing
- Function sampling and packing
Quality Control
- Stub end-face inspection before assembly
- Trial field termination and loss measurement per lot
- Mechanical splice retention force sampling
- Gel presence and sealing verified
- Packing count verified before dispatch
Customization Options
- SC or FC body
- UPC or APC polish
- Fiber acceptance for 250 µm, 900 µm or drop cable
- Kitted with cleaver and cleaning consumables
- Private-label packaging for rollout programs
Compared With Other Options
| LC | LC is half the footprint and doubles port density; SC is easier to handle in a crowded closure |
|---|---|
| FC | FC's threaded nut resists vibration; SC is faster to patch and re-patch |
Handling SC Field Assembly Fast Connector
Before You Order
- Use a precision cleaver; cleave angle is the main cause of high loss here
- Clean the fiber with a lint-free wipe before insertion
- Insert until the fiber visibly bows slightly, then lock the mechanism
In Service
- Verify with a visual fault locator or power meter before closing up
- On reusable versions, re-cleave rather than reusing a damaged fiber end
- Record which terminations were mechanical rather than fusion spliced
Questions About SC Field Assembly Fast Connector
What do you need from us to quote SC Field Assembly Fast Connector?
The quantity, the destination and anything that has to match on your side: connector and polish at each end, fiber mode and core size, and length where the item is an assembly. If you are matching a part you already buy, send the sample and we will quote against it.
Can SC Field Assembly Fast Connector be supplied with a different connector interface?
Yes. SC (Subscriber Connector) is what this designation carries, and the same family is stocked across the other mainstream connector standards. Tell us the port you have to mate with and we will confirm the equivalent part.
What fiber types can be terminated?
Versions are available for 250 µm coated fiber, 900 µm tight-buffered fiber and flat drop cable. Tell us what your crews actually carry and we will match the part.
Do I need special tools?
A precision cleaver and the matching hand tool. No power, no fusion splicer and no heat-shrink oven. Cleaver quality has a direct effect on the loss you achieve.
Are APC versions available for PON drops?
Yes. APC fast connectors are supplied for PON and RF-over-glass paths where back reflection matters, and they are color coded green as usual.
