SC Fiber Adapter: The Core Force of Optical Connection in the New Infrastructure Wave

2025-11-22

According to 2025 optical communication industry data, the sc fiber adapter, as a key component of optical fiber connection, is accelerating its scale expansion along with the advancement of new infrastructure. The domestic market size of this product has reached 4.86 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth of 12.3%. It is expected to exceed 7.7 billion yuan by 2030, becoming a core force supporting digital infrastructure.

The SC Fiber Adapter occupies a dominant position in the market due to its outstanding advantages. Adopting a rectangular housing and precision ceramic sleeve design, it not only features a simple structure and easy installation, but also achieves an insertion loss as low as 0.1dB and a return loss exceeding 50dB, ensuring efficient transmission of optical signals. Classified by application scenarios, it can be divided into single-mode (blue housing) and multi-mode (beige/black housing) types. Combined with UPC/APC ferrule polishing technologies, it meets the diverse needs of scenarios ranging from general communications to reflection-sensitive fields such as CATV and FTTH.

On the application side, data centers and telecommunications networks have become core demand scenarios, contributing 38.5% and 32.1% of the market share respectively. In the "Eastern Data and Western Computing" project, the SC Fiber Adapter supports high-density deployment, enabling 96-core port configuration within a 1U rack to connect servers and storage devices. In 5G fronthaul and FTTH networks, its push-pull design and wide temperature adaptability (-40℃ to 85℃) ensure the stable operation of access networks.

Technological evolution is injecting new vitality into the SC Fiber Adapter. Leading enterprises have achieved mass production of anti-pull enhanced and low return loss products. Meanwhile, they are developing monitoring functions in combination with intelligent patch panels to meet the requirements of 400G/800G high-speed transmission. With the acceleration of localization substitution and the improvement of the localization rate of core components such as ceramic ferrules, the SC Fiber Adapter will continue to release its value in the wave of new infrastructure.
