Overview
The LC/APC duplex fiber optic adapter is designed for high-density fiber optic networks, providing a precise connection for singlemode applications. Featuring a green housing to identify the APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish, this adapter ensures minimal signal loss and reliable performance in demanding environments.
Constructed with a durable polymer housing and high-precision zirconia alignment sleeves, this adapter offers long-term mechanical stability. It is specifically engineered with an SC footprint, allowing for seamless integration into existing rack-mount panels and wall-mount enclosures without the need for additional mounting hardware, thanks to its no-flange design.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the green color on this adapter?
The green color is the industry-standard identification for LC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors, which help distinguish them from standard UPC (blue) adapters.
Can I use this with standard LC/UPC connectors?
No, APC adapters are designed specifically for APC connectors with an 8-degree angle. Mating them with UPC connectors will damage the fiber end-faces.
Does this adapter require mounting screws?
No, this is a no-flange adapter that snaps into an SC-footprint panel cut-out.
Is this adapter suitable for singlemode fiber?
Yes, this adapter is engineered for singlemode fiber systems.
How many fibers does this adapter support?
This is a duplex adapter, which supports two fiber strands.
