The SC Connector is an easily field mountable connector that is designed to mount on 900 micron buffered fiber, 1.6 mm jacketed cable and 3.0 mm jacketed cable. Jumper connector is also available with a reduced length cable support. It can be mounted on bare fiber but it is recommended that the fiber be buffered first using the D181755 kit or equivalent. The connector utilizes a zirconia ferrule for fiber alignment; and push-pull hardware for installation into the adapter. It can be used in high density applications and not be affected by axial cable loads. The cable is crimped to the outer hardware and therefore prevents momentary disconnect when axial load is placed on the cable. The 1032B5 Tool Kit contains all the tools and instructions needed to mount SC Connectors. The new MiniTool kit is available for mounting the connectors using the EZ method.

Lightera offers SC Adapters in a variety of configurations. The adapters are easily mounted by simply snapping them into a panel. The blue simplex adapter C6000A-4 can mate both multimode and single-mode connectors. The beige simplex multimode adapter uses a metallic sleeve and should only be used for multimode connectors. Single-mode adapters may be used for both single-mode and multimode connectors, while multimode adapters should only be used for multimode applications. Lightera also offers angled adapters in a distinctive green color per industry standards.
Note: Attenuators in both a build-on and UMA style are also available.

The SC Terminators from Lightera are designed to reduce back-reflections typically found on laser-activated, connectorized access points such as those on splitters, DWDM couplers, or LGX Fiber Distribution Frames. Any single fiber connector mated to an adapter or coupling that is unused is a source of back-reflection. Back-reflection can be a major cause of bit errors. Lightera terminators are operational between 1310 and 1550 nm and provide a reflectance of -45 dB.
The SC-to-LC Converter features a male SC connector on the front and an LC Adapter on the back. This converter can be used in those applications where customers may have chosen to convert to the LC system (connectors and jumpers) but still has an embedded base of SC adapters in their systems.
The converter has been designed to yield an insertion loss of ≤ 0.5 dB.

Lightera offers an extensive line of fiber optic jumpers. On multimode duplex jumpers, the 2A1 clip is added in the factory to maintain the transmit/receive position of the simplex plugs. SC jumpers are available with reduced length cable supports for unique applications where space may be a constraint.
The SC Jumpers are available in both 3.0 mm and 1.6 mm diameter cordage. The 1.6 mm cordage, allows greater jumper density in a fully loaded frame and prevents congestion in overhead racks or building risers. A duplex jumper made from a figure-eight MiniCord® Cordage does not require a bulky bifurcation joint thereby saving space in the frame. The duplex MiniCord jumper can be peeled apart with ease so that two cords can be installed as one, then easily separated into two, saving time and effort. The single-mode cordage uses Lightera’ AllWave® FLEX Zero Water Peak (ZWP) Fiber providing excellent bend loss performance. The bend radius permits you to install jumpers or jumpers in spaces with limited maneuverability or around sharp corners. Quad jumpers utilize four color-coded 1.6 mm cords combined in one jacket.
Jumpers are tested and must meet a maximum insertion loss of 0.3 dB. Field terminations using proper procedures should yield similar results. Jumpers come in fixed lengths or can be ordered in custom lengths. Hybrid jumpers are also available.
