✅ Connector Type:
SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) – Optimized for single-mode fiber (SMF) with low back reflection (>60 dB).
5.0mm Round Cable Compatibility – Fits standard round drop cables (e.g., 5.0mm OD, often with aramid yarn strength members).

✅ Field-Installable Design:
No polishing or epoxy – Uses mechanical splice or crimp technology for fast termination (<2 minutes).
Strain relief & crimp sleeve – Ensures secure cable retention.

✅ Performance:
Insertion Loss: <0.3 dB (typical).
Return Loss: >60 dB (APC standard).

✅ Durability:
Rugged housing – Protects the fiber in outdoor/indoor deployments.
Weather-resistant options – Some models include sealing for harsh environments.

Advantages Over Standard SC/APC Connectors:

✔ Optimized for 5.0MM round drop cables – No need for round cable adapters.
✔ No polishing required – Uses pre-polished stub fiber for fast termination.
✔ Ideal for FTTH deployments – Quick field installations in aerial, duct, or buried applications.

Installation Steps (General Process):

✔ Strip the 5.0mm round cable to expose the bare fiber (use a fiber stripper).
✔ Cleave the fiber precisely (recommended cleaver: Fujikura CT-30 or equivalent).
✔ Insert the fiber into the connector’s pre-aligned ferrule.
✔ Crimp the connector onto the cable for strain relief.
✔ Test with an OTDR or power meter for insertion loss verification.

Common Applications:

✔ FTTH / PON networks (last-mile connections).
✔ Telecom & CATV distribution.
✔ Outdoor fiber drops (aerial, buried, or duct installations).
