Overview
The Corning 740-0083-006-B is a high-performance LC/APC duplex adapter designed for single-mode fiber optic applications. Featuring a precise ceramic alignment sleeve, it ensures minimal signal loss and consistent performance for telecommunications and data center connectivity. The adapter utilizes a standard SC-style footprint, making it highly compatible with existing patch panels and enclosures.
Engineered for durability, this adapter supports up to 500 mating cycles and operates effectively in harsh environmental conditions ranging from -40°F to +185°F. Its push-pull design allows for easy installation and removal without the need for additional mounting hardware, as this model features a flange-less design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does LC/APC mean?
LC refers to the connector format (Lucent Connector), and APC refers to Angled Physical Contact, which uses an 8-degree angle to minimize back-reflection.
Can I use this for Multi-mode fiber?
No, this adapter is specifically designed for Single Mode fiber. Using it with Multi-mode fiber may result in poor optical performance.
Does this adapter come with a mounting flange?
No, this model is a flange-less design intended for standard SC-style cutouts.
What is the purpose of the ceramic sleeve?
The ceramic sleeve provides superior alignment precision for the fiber ferrules, which is essential for maintaining low insertion loss in Single Mode connections.
How many fibers does this adapter accommodate?
This is a duplex adapter, meaning it accommodates two fiber connections simultaneously.
