Frequently Asked Questions
What does the green housing signify?
In fiber optic standards, a green housing indicates an APC (Angled Physical Contact) connector, which is used to minimize back-reflection.
Can this be used with Multimode fiber?
No, this adapter is specifically designed for Singlemode APC applications.
What does the 'No Flange' specification mean?
The adapter lacks the external mounting ears or tabs found on standard adapters, allowing it to be used in specific panel designs where space is limited.
Why is Zirconia used for the sleeve?
Zirconia is a ceramic material chosen for its high hardness and thermal stability, which ensures the fiber ferrules remain perfectly aligned over many connections.
Is this a simplex or duplex adapter?
This is a simplex adapter, designed for connecting one pair of SC connectors.
