LC/APC Quad Fiber Optic Adapter - Single Mode - Flanged
Maximize your single-mode fiber density with superior back-reflection performance using this LC/APC quad fiber-optic adapter with an SC duplex footprint. Designed for seamless integration into loaded fiber patch panels and wall-mount enclosures, this adapter provides four LC/APC single-mode connections in the space of one SC duplex port, doubling your port density while 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 all four ports. At the same time, the green color coding ensures instant identification of APC-polished single-mode fiber connections—ideal for high-density installations requiring superior optical performance in telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise network environments.
