LC APC Duplex Adapter Zirconia Green - No Flange, SC Footprint

Overview

The LC APC Duplex Adapter is designed for high-precision fiber optic connectivity. This component is engineered for use in applications requiring a green, APC (Angled Physical Contact) interface, ensuring minimal signal reflection and optimal performance in sensitive singlemode network environments.

The adapter features a robust zirconia ceramic alignment sleeve, which provides excellent durability and stable performance across repeated matings. The "no flange" design and standard SC footprint allow for flexible mounting in a variety of patch panels, wall mount enclosures, and fiber distribution units, making it an effective choice for both data center and enterprise network infrastructure.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the green housing color?
The green color is the industry-standard code for APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors, helping technicians quickly identify that the adapter is for angled applications and should not be mated with standard UPC (blue) connectors.

Can I use this with multimode fiber?
This adapter is specifically optimized for singlemode fiber applications.

Does this include mounting hardware?
No, this model uses a 'no flange' design intended for snap-in installation in compatible patch panel cutouts.

What does the SC footprint mean?
It means the physical dimensions of the adapter's mounting interface match those of a standard SC simplex adapter, allowing it to fit into panels designed for SC adapters while housing LC connectors.

Is the alignment sleeve made of plastic or ceramic?
It features a high-durability zirconia ceramic alignment sleeve for long-term reliability and precise alignment.
