SC-Type Ceramic Sleeve

SC-type ceramic sleeve is a precision-engineered component designed for use in fiber optic connectors. It provides accurate alignment of single-core (SC) optical fibers, ensuring minimal signal loss and reliable performance. Made from zirconia ceramic, this sleeve offers superior wear resistance and thermal stability. Its polished internal bore maintains tight tolerance, reducing return loss in high-speed data transmission. The SC-type ceramic sleeve is widely used in telecommunications, data centers, and networking infrastructure. It guarantees long-lasting performance in demanding environments, making it essential for maintaining signal integrity in modern optical communication systems.

  • Exceptional Hardness and Durability: As a result, it resists wear and deformation through repeated mating cycles in SC connectors.
  • Low Insertion and Return Loss: Therefore, it maintains high optical performance in both single-mode and multimode fiber connections.
  • Chemical and Thermal Stability: In addition, it withstands harsh environments without compromising mechanical or optical integrity.
  • Non-Magnetic and Electrically Insulating: Consequently, it is safe for use in electronic and high-frequency transmission systems.
  • Industry Standard Compatibility: Thanks to its SC-type configuration, it integrates seamlessly into a wide range of fiber optic connectors and adapters.

Applications of SC-Type Ceramic Sleeve

  • Telecommunication Networks: For example, it’s used in central office, metro, and long-haul systems where fiber alignment consistency is crucial.
  • Data Centers and Server Farms: Because of its reliability and high-density compatibility, it supports mission-critical fiber patching.
  • FTTx and Broadband Installations: In addition, it ensures signal integrity in fiber-to-the-home/business connections.
  • Optical Test Equipment: Ideal for use in adapters and testing tools that require repeated mating with minimal performance degradation.
  • CATV and Broadcast Systems: Supports high-quality signal transmission in video and audio distribution networks.
  • Aerospace and Defense Communications: Lastly, it’s used in ruggedized optical systems that demand both precision and resilience.
