An SC duplex connector refers to a type of fiber optic connector that incorporates two SC connectors in a single housing. The duplex configuration allows for the simultaneous connection of two fiber optic cables, enabling bidirectional communication or the transmission of separate signals.
The SC duplex connector maintains the same square-shaped design and push-pull coupling mechanism as the standard SC connector. However, instead of a single connector, it houses two separate connectors side by side within a single housing. Each connector within the duplex configuration corresponds to one fiber optic cable, typically color-coded for identification.
The SC duplex connector is commonly used in applications where two fibers need to be connected, such as in duplex fiber optic patch cords, pigtails, or in equipment interfaces. It provides a convenient and efficient solution for establishing dual connections while maintaining the compact size and reliability of the SC connector design.
