High Return Loss (APC) Solutions

High Return Loss (APC)
Fiber Optic Solutions

Both classical Office as well as Data Center Infrastructures require at their entrance facilities (their connection to the Metropolitan or Wide Area Network) partially fiber optic interconnection solutions, which guarantee highest Return Loss (what means lowest reflections).

The technology which is applied in these cases is called APC (Angled Physical Contact). The end-faces of the connectors are prepared with a precision 8° angle, what is suppressing the reflections and therefore resulting into highest return losses. All APC Fiber Optic Connectors have an international standardized green colour coding.

AMP NETCONNECT provides a range of highest quality APC solutions for various interfaces like SC, LC and E2000 (LSH).  All APC connector end-faces are controlled in compliance with the relevant IEC parameters (OPC - Optimized Physical Contacts) what guarantees highest performance and reliability for a long term.
