3M offers a full line of FC Connectors, including Epoxy, Hot Melt and Angled Polished Connectors, to meet your connector needs. The 3M™ FC Connector is field mountable, pull-proof connectors, which are fully compatible with all FC connectors adhering to the NTT specification. The ferrule is independent of the backbone so that a pull on the jacketed connectorized cable will not cause the ferrule to break optical contact with a second ferrule in a connection.
The FC connector maximizes termination yield through ease of mounting and a high performance polishing procedure. The FC Epoxy Connector is available in single-mode and multimode utilizing epoxy adhesive. The FC Hot Melt Connector is also available in single-mode and multimode, enabling a field termination in less than two minutes for multiple terminations.
