The GCTechnologies DWW-S-R-BKH-FC/APC is a single-mode fiber optic cable assembly engineered for high-performance telecommunications and data center environments. Equipped with an FC/APC connector, this assembly delivers superior optical performance through precision alignment and minimal back reflection—critical requirements for signal integrity in high-bandwidth and laser-based systems.
## Technical Specifications
**Connector Type:** FC/APC (Angled Physical Contact)
• 8° pre-angled ceramic ferrule reduces back reflections versus FC/PC connectors
• 2.0 mm narrow key alignment
• Mating restricted to FC/APC connectors only
**Fiber:** Single-mode fiber (SMF) with typical core diameter 8–10 microns
**Ferrule Material:** Ceramic—ensures precise fiber alignment and long-term durability
**Standards Compliance:**
• IEC 60874-7
• IEC60793-2-10 A1a / A1b
• ITU-T G.651 / G.652
• EIA/TIA 604-3A, 568, 455
• ISO/IEC 11801 2nd Ed.
• EN 50173
• Bellcore/Telcordia GR-326, GR-409-CORE
• CECC 86115-801
• JIS C5973 F04
• ICEA-596
• UL1666/901
## Key Features
**Low Back Reflection:** The 8° angled polish minimizes light reflection back into the fiber core, meeting return-loss-sensitive applications including high-speed data and laser systems.
**Precision Alignment:** High-tolerance ceramic ferrule mating within alignment sleeves ensures optimal optical coupling.
**Corrosion Resistance:** Ceramic construction withstands harsh environmental exposure without performance degradation.
## Typical Applications
• High-speed telecommunications networks
• Data center interconnects
• Laser-based measurement and control systems
• Return-loss-critical signal paths
## Compatibility & Integration
FC/APC connectors mate exclusively with other FC/APC connectors. Single-mode fiber design supports extended transmission distances and high-bandwidth capacity.
