Overview
The LC Duplex Adapter is designed for high-density fiber optic connectivity, providing a stable and precise mating interface for two duplex LC fiber optic patch cords. This flangeless adapter is ideal for space-constrained environments such as patch panels, wall-mount enclosures, and rack-mount hardware.
Constructed with a durable polymer housing and featuring ceramic alignment sleeves, this adapter ensures low insertion loss and consistent performance. It is specifically engineered to accommodate connectors with a UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish, making it a suitable choice for standard singlemode fiber network deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this adapter suitable for APC connectors?
No, this adapter is specifically designed for UPC polished connectors. Using APC connectors may cause physical damage to the ceramic sleeve or fiber end-face.
Does this unit include screws for mounting?
No, this is a flangeless version designed for snap-in or custom mounting configurations.
Can this be used for multimode fiber?
While the physical interface is the same, this adapter is standard-coded in blue for singlemode applications. Please ensure your system requirements align with the specifications.
What is the purpose of the ceramic sleeve?
The ceramic sleeve provides superior stability and high-precision alignment for the fiber ferrules compared to metal or plastic alternatives.
Are other colors available?
Yes, this series is available in green, yellow, violet, brown, and white to assist with network identification.
