Industrial Waterproof SC APC Field Installable Connector Patch Cord

The OptiTap Pre-connected type waterproof connector is a compact and highly waterproof connector designed to be compatible with Corning's field waterproof connectors. It is an economical, efficient, and convenient outdoor connector with sealing and mechanical protection capabilities. The overall size of the connector is small, and it can also provide a wall-through-tube traction application solution. Replace the wall-through cap to switch between wall-through and connection scenarios easily. The connector is made of special plastic material resistant to high and low temperatures, acid and alkali corrosion, and UV radiation. It is equipped with a waterproof sealant pad, the protection performance can reach the IP67 level. The connector features blind mating functionality, offering a quick installation solution.

(I) Excellent Protective Performance

High-level Water and Dust Resistance: Equipped with a waterproof sealant pad, it achieves an IP67 protection rating, and some models (IP68 fast-connect versions) offer even better protection. It can withstand harsh outdoor environments such as moisture and dust, while also resisting high and low temperatures (operating temperature: -40~+85℃), acid-alkali corrosion, and UV radiation, making it suitable for long-term industrial outdoor use.

Mechanical Protection and Durability: Constructed from special plastic materials, it provides strong mechanical protection. After 500 mechanical durability tests, the insertion loss remains ≤0.3dB. The tensile strength of round cables exceeds 100N, flat cables exceed 70N, and the bare fiber tightening strength is over 3N, enabling it to withstand external pulling forces during outdoor installation and use.

(II) Flexible and Convenient Installation & Adaptability

On-site Quick Assembly: Supports on-site installation (Field Assembly) and features blind mating functionality, allowing quick connection without complex tools. It can be reused more than 5 times, reducing installation and maintenance costs. With the OptiTap waterproof kit, it enables wall-through tube traction applications; simply replacing the wall-through cap allows easy switching between "wall-through" and "connection" scenarios.

Compatibility with Multiple Cable Specifications: It is compatible with 3.0mm/5.0mm round patch cords and 2.0×5.0mm outdoor flat drop cables, and can match G657A2 single-mode fibers (9/125um), covering common fiber cable types with strong adaptability.

(III) Outstanding Optical Performance

As a single-mode (SM) fiber connector, it delivers excellent optical performance:

Low Insertion Loss: The insertion loss is ≤0.3dB (at 1310nm/1550nm wavelengths), with some descriptions mentioning ≤0.2dB, minimizing signal transmission attenuation and ensuring stable communication quality.

High Return Loss: The return loss for APC interfaces is ≤-55dB (≤-50dB for UPC interfaces), effectively reducing signal reflection interference and improving transmission efficiency.

(IV) Compliance and Quality Assurance

Authoritative Certifications: It has passed the ISO9001:2015 quality management system certification and CE certification, and also holds an appearance design patent, ensuring that the product quality meets international standards.

Brand and After-sales Support: OEM customization is available, or the "Wolon" brand can be used. It comes with a 5-year warranty. The supplier (Wuhan Wolon Communication Technology Co., Ltd.) has 10 years of industry experience and a customer satisfaction rate of 95.4%, providing reliable after-sales support.

(I) Communication Network Construction Scenarios

FTTH (Fiber to the Home): As a key connection component for fiber-to-the-home, it can be used for end connections between homes, buildings, and operators' backbone fibers. Its waterproof and anti-aging properties meet the requirements of long-term outdoor use in the wiring environment from base stations to user terminals.

CATV (Cable Television) Systems: Its low insertion loss and high return loss ensure stable transmission of cable TV signals, reducing signal attenuation and interference. It is suitable for fiber signal transmission links from cable TV stations to user terminals.

General Optical Communication Systems: It can be integrated into various optical communication architectures such as Wireless Lan, 3G/4G/5G mobile communications, and TCP/IP networks. Serving as a connection node for signal transmission, it is compatible with multiple network protocols including Bluetooth, GPRS, and WiFi, supporting efficient transmission of data, voice, video, and other signals.

(II) Industrial and Testing Scenarios

Industrial Outdoor Environments: Due to its dustproof, waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and temperature-resistant properties, it can be used for outdoor equipment connections in factories and fiber wiring in industrial parks, ensuring stable transmission of industrial control signals and monitoring data.

Fiber Optic Testing Field: It is compatible with fiber optic testers and can be used as a temporary or fixed connection component during testing to accurately transmit test signals and assist in testing the performance of fiber links (such as testing parameters like loss and reflection).
