ODVA SC APC Simplex Outdoor Waterproof Fiber Optic Connector
This ODVA SC APC Simplex Outdoor Waterproof Fiber Optic Connector combines a single SC/APC optical channel with a rugged outdoor housing. The green SC/APC interface identifies the APC-polished connection, while the outer connector body protects the mating interface at outdoor equipment connection points.
It is intended for equipment fitted with an ODVA-style SC receptacle, including FTTA, telecom and industrial outdoor installations where a standard indoor SC connector is not the required mechanical interface.

ODVA-style rugged outdoor connector housing
SC/APC simplex optical interface

Match the Outdoor Receptacle, Not Just the SC Connector
The internal SC/APC interface and the external ODVA housing both need to match the equipment. A standard SC/APC connector cannot be selected only because the optical connector is the same; ODVA and other rugged outdoor connector families use different external mating and locking structures.
For indoor SC/APC termination without an ODVA receptacle, a standard SC APC OS2 Simplex Fiber Patch Cord is normally the more direct connection.
Typical Applications
FTTA tower and radio-site fiber connections
RRU and RRH equipment connections
Outdoor telecommunication equipment
Outdoor fiber distribution equipment
Industrial outdoor enclosures
Single-fiber SC/APC outdoor links

What to Confirm for the Connection
Confirm the equipment-side ODVA receptacle, SC/APC interface, fiber mode, cable diameter, required cable length and quantity before ordering. When the existing outdoor port cannot be identified from the specification alone, a clear equipment-port photo or model reference can be used for connection confirmation and quotation.
