Abstract
An improved SC fiber optic coupling is disclosed which fits within a standard SC footprint when panel mounted but which provides for a buildout whereby it may be readily cleaned yet it may be used to replace SC panel couplings having the minimum footprint required by the Telecommunications Industry Association standard for SC couplings, FOCIS 3, Fiber Optic Coupling Intermateability Standard (TIA/EIA-604-3) which provides for the dimensions to be used by SC couplings. The present invention also provides a buildout system for fiber optic connectors which allows such connectors to be assembled without any rotation therebetween. Accordingly, the present invention can be used with SC, ST, LC, and FC connectors to provide a non-rotational connection, and it can be used to manufacture ganged fiber optic coupling buildouts.
