FC/APC SM 3.0MM SX GREEN BOOT (GSZ3001-GRE)

FC/APC SM 3.0mm SX Green Boot is a high-precision fiber optic connector component used in applications where maximum signal integrity and minimal back-reflection are required. Component Breakdown FC (Ferrule Connector): Features a threaded, screw-on mechanism that provides a high-vibration resistant and stable connection. It is the preferred choice for sensitive test equipment and industrial environments. APC (Angled Physical Contact): The fiber endface is polished at an 8° angle. This unique geometry ensures that reflected light is absorbed into the fiber cladding rather than returning to the source, achieving an industry-leading return loss of ≥60dB. SM (Single Mode): Designed specifically for 9/125µm fiber cores, optimized for long-distance data transmission with very low attenuation. 3.0mm: This boot size is engineered to provide robust strain relief for 3.0mm diameter cable jackets, protecting the internal fiber from breakage due to bending or pulling. SX (Simplex): A single-channel connector used for one-way or bi-directional fiber links. Green Boot: Industry-standard color coding that identifies the connector as having an APC (Angled) polish, preventing accidental mating with blue (UPC) connectors. Key Specifications Feature Performance Insertion Loss ≤0.3 dB (Typical) Return Loss ≥60 dB (Critical for high-performance) Mating Durability 1,000+ Cycles Housing Material Nickel-plated brass / Zirconia Ceramic Best Use Cases Because of its superior return loss, the FC/APC configuration is the standard for CATV (Cable TV), FTTx networks, and High-Speed Telecommunications where signal "noise" from reflections must be eliminated to prevent data errors or equipment damage.
