MX SC APC Connector With 3.0 MM Boot SM MX-1757

MX SC APC Connector With 3.0 MM Boot SM MX-1757

The MX SC APC Connector With 3.0 mm Boot SM MX-1757 is a precision fiber optic component designed for single-mode (SM) fiber applications. It provides a dependable connection for telecommunications, data networks, broadband infrastructure, and other optical communication systems where stable signal transmission is essential.

Featuring a 3.0 mm boot, zirconia ceramic ferrule, and angled physical contact design, this optical connector is engineered for accurate fiber alignment and consistent performance. Its low insertion loss and high return loss make it suitable for professional fiber installations that require reliable optical connectivity.

Low Insertion Loss for Efficient Transmission

The SC APC connector is designed to provide an insertion loss of less than 0.2 dB, with a typical value of less than 0.1 dB for APC configurations. Low insertion loss helps reduce optical power loss at the connection point, supporting efficient signal transmission across compatible fiber networks.

This makes the component suitable for applications where maintaining optical power and minimizing attenuation are important, including broadband connections, telecom infrastructure, and high-speed communication systems.

High Return Loss With APC Technology

The SC APC fiber connector uses Angled Physical Contact technology to help reduce reflected optical signals. It provides a return loss greater than 50 dB, with a typical value of 70 dB for APC configurations.

High return loss is particularly useful in optical networks where signal reflections can affect transmission quality. The angled polished interface helps provide stable optical performance for demanding single-mode applications.

Precision Zirconia Ceramic Ferrule

A zirconia ceramic ferrule is used to provide accurate fiber positioning and reliable alignment. Zirconia ceramic is widely used in fiber optic components because of its strength, precision, and resistance to wear.

The ferrule has a 1.25 mm diameter and is available with compatible hole sizes of 125 µm, 125.5 µm, or 126 µm. Correct ferrule sizing helps maintain proper fiber alignment and can contribute to consistent optical performance.

Durable 3.0 mm Boot Design

The 3.0 mm boot provides practical support around the cable termination while helping protect the fiber connection from mechanical stress. The component is designed for repeated installation and maintenance, with a durability specification of less than 0.1 dB after 250 mating cycles.

Its operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C makes it suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor fiber networking environments.

Dust Protection and RoHS Compliance

A dust cap is supplied to help protect the polished connector surface from dust and contaminants when the component is not connected. Keeping the optical interface clean is important for maintaining reliable fiber transmission.

The product is also RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications where compliance with applicable hazardous-substance restrictions is required.
