LC/APC Duplex Adapter, Green, No Flange, Internal Shutter, SC Footprint

Overview

The LC/APC Duplex Adapter is designed for high-density fiber optic connectivity, featuring an SC footprint that allows for efficient utilization of space in patch panels and enclosures. This adapter is optimized for singlemode applications, utilizing a precise zirconia alignment sleeve to ensure consistent, low-loss performance for APC connections.

Constructed with a durable polymer housing, this duplex adapter includes an internal shutter mechanism to provide integrated protection against dust and debris when the connector is not inserted. The no-flange design is ideal for applications where space is limited and a flush mounting profile is required.

Key Features

• Internal Shutter Mechanism
  Integrated shutters automatically close to protect against dust and laser light exposure when a connector is removed.
• SC Footprint
  Designed to fit standard SC-style panel cutouts for easy installation in existing rack and wall-mount enclosures.
• Zirconia Alignment Sleeve
  High-precision ceramic sleeve ensures optimal fiber core alignment for low-loss, stable signal transmission.
• No-Flange Design
  Compact, flange-less profile saves valuable space in high-density fiber management systems.
• Duplex Configuration
  Supports two LC/APC connections in a single adapter unit to increase port density.
• Durable Polymer Housing
  Lightweight yet robust material construction protects internal components in standard data center environments.

Applications

• Data Center Infrastructure
• Telecommunications Networks
• Fiber Optic Patch Panels
• FTTX Distribution Systems
• High-Density Network Equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the shutter?
The internal shutter provides protection against dust and contaminants while also helping to shield users from laser light when the port is unoccupied.

Does this fit into a standard LC panel?
This adapter is designed with an SC-style footprint, meaning it fits into panels cut for SC adapters, not the smaller LC footprint cutouts.

Is this for singlemode or multimode?
This is a green-housed adapter typically designated for singlemode APC applications.

What is the benefit of the no-flange design?
The no-flange design allows for a cleaner, flush appearance and is necessary in high-density installations where there is no room for protruding mounting flanges.

What material is the alignment sleeve?
The alignment sleeve is made of zirconia, which is a ceramic material chosen for its dimensional stability and low friction properties.
