CONNECTOR SOLUTIONS
Connectors that can be put on in the field using anaerobic epoxy
• No heat cure requiring curing ovens
• No need to mix epoxies
• Takes less than 3 minutes to install
• Available in ‘tool’ kits
• Multimode offers SC Connectors
• Singlemode offers SC & FC connectors
IN-LINE ATTENUATOR SOLUTIONS
Purpose is to increase the attenuation or return loss if there’s too much signal for the receiver, typically installed in-line between the
connector and adapter on the ODF.
• SC connectors available in angled polish and ultra polish (-65 and -55dB min. return loss)
• FC connectors available in ultra polish (-55 dB min. return loss)
• LC connectors available in ultra polish (-55 dB min. return loss)
ADAPTER SOLUTIONS
Purpose is to allow mating of one connector to another, colored for identification purposes to maintain distinct differences between
different style connectors (Green=Angled Polish, Blue=Ultra Polish, Putty=Multimode, Aqua=10G)
• Singlemode adapters offered with both Phosphor Bronze sleeves and Zirconia sleeves for high performance
• Multimode adapters available with Phosphor Bronze sleeve only
• Simplex and Duplex Adapters are also available
Notes for FC adapters: The Angle Polished FC adapter has a narrower key width than the singlemode

or the multimode adapter. This prevents a singlemode or multimode connector from being inserted into
the adapter. The color of the angled retainer differentiates a singlemode from a multimode adapter.
