Overview

The Panduit OptiCam SC Fiber Optic Connector (SKU: FSC2MCXAQ) is engineered for efficient field termination of multimode 50/125µm OM3, OM4, and OM5 fiber optic cables. Designed for 900-micron tight-buffered fiber, this simplex SC connector significantly reduces installation time. Utilizing the OptiCam 2 Termination Tool, field termination is achievable in approximately two minutes. The key innovation is its pre-polished fiber endface, which eliminates the need for time-consuming and labor-intensive field polishing, thereby lowering overall installation costs. This connector features a natural-colored body, complemented by an aqua-colored backbone, outer housing, and 900µm boot for clear identification and proper handling. Its compatibility with OM3, OM4, and OM5 fiber types makes it suitable for high-bandwidth applications commonly found in data centers, enterprise networks, and industrial settings. The pre-polished endface design ensures consistent optical performance and simplifies the termination process, making it an ideal choice for quick, reliable deployments without requiring specialized polishing equipment. Manufactured in the US.
