Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of the zirconia sleeve?
Zirconia ceramic sleeves provide superior dimensional stability and wear resistance compared to phosphor bronze, ensuring consistent alignment of the fiber ferrules.

Can this adapter be used for multimode fiber?
This specific model is designed for singlemode applications. Using it with multimode fiber may result in performance issues due to different alignment tolerances.

What does 'No Flange' mean?
The adapter lacks the side mounting flanges found on some adapters, allowing it to be installed in specialized clips or high-density panels where a flush mount is required.

Is this adapter suitable for APC connectors?
This model is intended for standard LC connections. Please refer to specialized APC-specific adapters for angled physical contact connectors.

How many fibers does this adapter support?
This is a duplex adapter, meaning it supports two separate fiber connections (one pair) simultaneously.
