Designed for high precision fiber networks, the E2000 has a spring-loaded shutter that protects the ferrule from dust and scratches. The shutter closes automatically when the connector is disengaged, keeping out contamination, while locking in potentially harmful laser beams.

The Molex E2000 adapter family offers excellent performance attenuation value. With a standard SC Simplex footprint, it can suit all existing fiber platforms to provide a flexible application.

Features & Benefits Technical Info
  • The APC (Angled Physical Contact) connector minimizes back reflection due to a 5° to 15° angle-polish applied to end faces. Due to this angle, the reflected light does not stay in the fiber core but is designed to leak out into the cladding.
  • The connector has a spring-loaded self-closing shutter (dust cap) that protects the ferrule from external contamination and scratches.
  • Good compatibility, suitable for all fiber platforms.
  • High reliability & stability, offering “plug in and pull out” activity up to 1,000 times.
  • Accurate mechanical dimensions, allowing for a tight fitment of the adapter with the plate.
  • ROHS compliant, providing restrictions on the use of hazardous substances.
