SN Connector (2F), Single Mode Fiber with APC Polish and 1.6mm Cable

The SN connector is the ultimate Base-2 connector combining ‘best-in-class’ packing density with carrier-grade performance and reliability. Designed and optimized for next-generation data rates, the SN connector offers network operators the chance to densify their existing legacy infrastructure whilst at the same time providing an upgrade path to 400G and beyond. The SN Standard connector is suitable for termination to 1.6 mm round cable that incorporates a ruggedized jacket and internal strain relief. The SN Standard connector has an integrated ‘push-pull’ boot that simplifies insertion and removal of the connector even in dense patch panels where finger access is limited. A gang-clip can be added to fthis individual SN® connectors allowing them to be patched simultaneously to either adapters or 4-channel (8 fibers) transceivers (subject to product selection).

Features

• Meets IEC random mating Grade B
• Very Small Form Factor (VSFF) connector, 3 x fiber cabling density over Duplex LC
• Unique push-pull boot for simple installation and removal
• Optimized for 400G data rates with QSFP-DD, OSFP and SFP-DD transceivers
• Up to 4 x SN connectors per transceiver
• Direct transceiver breakout in spine/leaf architectures
• Combines two 1.25 mm ceramic ferrules
• Easy identification of the connector alignment key

Application

• High-density patching
• QSFP-DD, OSFP and SFP-DD transceiver links for higher data rates
• Hybrid Base-2 cable assemblies combining SN and other duplex connector types
