FTTH SC UPC Simplex Adapter with Flange
An SC UPC fiber optic adapter is a specific type of fiber optic adapter designed to connect two SC connectors with UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish. SC connectors are widely used in fiber optic networks due to their simple push-pull design, while UPC polish ensures low insertion loss and high return loss for optimal signal transmission.

Applications of SC UPC Fiber Optic Adapters:
Enterprise Networks: In LANs (Local Area Networks) and other fiber-based systems.
CATV (Cable Television): For transmitting high-quality video signals.
Test and Measurement: Used in fiber optic testing equipment.
Advantages of SC UPC Adapters:
Low Insertion Loss: Ensures minimal signal loss during transmission.
High Return Loss: UPC polish reduces back reflection, making it ideal for high-speed networks.
Easy to Use: SC connectors feature a push-pull mechanism for quick and secure connections.
Durability: Designed for long-term use in various environments.
UPC:
Flat but slightly curved end face.
Lower return loss (around -50 dB).
Suitable for most general-purpose applications.
APC:
Angled end face (8 degrees) to further reduce back reflection.
Higher return loss (around -60 dB).
Used in applications requiring extremely low reflection, such as RF video signals.
