Abstract
We have investigated the high optical power handling capability of standard SC physical contact (PC) and angled physical contact (APC) connectors using SMF-28/sup TM/ fiber at powers of 1 and 3 W at 1550 nm. We will report results of short-term exposure tests of mated connector pairs prepared with various endface surface conditions.
