PC type fiber optic connector end face

ODN and passive infrastructure knowledge brief Published 19 Mar 2026

Prepared for preliminary research by the GESTIONVAL ODN knowledge desk. Confirm network topology, split ratio, box or cabinet capacity, joint closure rating and loss budget against current standards and product documentation.

PC connector stands for physical contact fiber connector, which allows the end faces of two fibers to be in direct contact with each other. What are the differences between APC, UPC, PC? How to distinguish them? How to choose between them? This post will tell. Maximizes space efficiency: Saves physical space and increases wiring density. Scalability: Easily expands. Understanding fiber connector types—SC/APC, SC/PC, LC/UPC, LC/APC, ST/PC, FC/PC, and FC/APC—is essential for selecting the right interface for your application.
