LC/APC Duplex Fiber Optic Adapter - Single Mode - Flanged
Connect your single-mode LC/APC duplex fiber cables seamlessly with this reliable fiber-optic adapter featuring an SC simplex footprint and superior back-reflection performance. Designed for seamless integration into loaded fiber patch panels and wall-mount enclosures, this adapter provides dual LC/APC single-mode connections in a compact SC simplex footprint, delivering the exceptional optical performance required for CATV, PON, WDM, and other high-performance long-distance applications.
Built with durable plastic housing, ceramic alignment sleeves, and integrated flanges, this adapter securely fits into designated slots in standard fiber enclosures. The APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish provides an 8-degree angled endface that virtually eliminates back reflections on both ports. At the same time, the green color coding ensures instant identification of APC-polished single-mode fiber connections—ideal for installations requiring superior optical performance in telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise network environments.
