SC Duplex Connectors

In accordance with EN60825-1, Safety of Laser Products - Part 1: Equipment Class, Requirements, and User's Guide (2001), multimode I/O modules with SC connectors are defined as follows:

CLASS 1 LED PRODUCT.

In accordance with EN60825-1, Safety of Laser Products - Part 1: Equipment Class, Requirements, and User's Guide (2001), single-mode I/O modules with SC connectors are defined as follows:

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT.

Warning: Do not look directly into SC-style fiber connectors. The fiber-optic laser used in single-mode fiber (SMF) meets the regulatory requirements for casual exposure to the eye; however, looking directly into a laser can cause eye damage.

Warning: IEC 825, Class 1 laser fiber connectors are for connection only to Class 1 laser devices.

SC duplex connectors have the same basic shape as LC duplex connectors, but are slightly larger. See Figure 33.
