Product Overview

SC Square Bare Adapter is part of the bare adapter range built by Ever Expresslink Limited in Ningbo, China. It is built on the SC (Subscriber Connector) interface.

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.

It is one of 7 items in this range. A typical application is power measurement on an unterminated distribution cable. What the range is built to give you there: available for the main connector port types and both ferrule sizes.

The problem it addresses is test kits that cannot reach bare fiber in a splice tray. A practical note that applies across this range: release the clamp before withdrawing the fiber to avoid scoring it. Specifications for a particular configuration are confirmed on the quotation rather than assumed from the designation.

Key Benefits

Supplied as SC Square Bare Adapter, so the part you receive matches the designation you ordered against
Measure without spending a connector and a termination cycle
Reusable across many fibres in a single session
Available for the main connector port types and both ferrule sizes
Compact enough to live in a splicing kit

Problems It Solves

Test kits that cannot reach bare fiber in a splice tray
Needing a measurement on fiber that has not been terminated yet
Terminating a fiber purely to verify continuity, then cutting the connector off
Slow fault-finding on a partly built link

Application Scenarios

Enterprise backbone links
Continuity checking before a splice closure is sealed
Power measurement on an unterminated distribution cable
Laboratory characterisation of fiber samples
Fault localisation during a restoration

Who It Is For

Splicing crews verifying continuity before closing a tray
Test engineers measuring unterminated cable
Laboratories characterizing fiber samples
Training programs teaching splice verification

Use Guide

Handling SC Square Bare Adapter

Before You Order

Cleave the fiber square with a precision cleaver before insertion
Clean the fiber with lint-free wipe and solvent
Insert to the stop and close the clamp without forcing it

In Service

Treat the reading as indicative rather than as a certified link measurement
Release the clamp before withdrawing the fiber to avoid scoring it
Clean the guide bore between fibres

FAQ

Questions About SC Square Bare Adapter

What do you need from us to quote SC Square Bare Adapter?

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 Square Bare Adapter 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 sizes does a bare adapter accept?

Versions are available for 250 µm coated fiber and for 900 µm tight-buffered fiber. Confirm which one your splice tray presents before ordering.

Is a bare adapter measurement as accurate as a terminated one?

It is repeatable enough for continuity and relative loss checks, which is what a splicing crew needs. For certified link measurements, terminate properly or use a reference-grade test cord.

How many times can one adapter be reused?

They are designed for repeated insertion across a working session and beyond. Replace when the clamp no longer holds the fiber firmly or the guide bore shows wear.
