LC/APC Duplex Fiber Optic Adapter - Single Mode - No Flange
Connect your single-mode LC/APC duplex fiber cables seamlessly with this flangeless fiber-optic adapter, designed for clean, low-profile installations with superior back-reflection performance. Engineered specifically for loaded fiber patch panels and wall-mount enclosures, this adapter provides secure, low-loss coupling of dual LC/APC single-mode connections without the bulk of traditional flanged adapters. The green color coding makes it easy to identify APC-polished single-mode fiber connections, preventing mismatches with standard UPC connectors.
Built with precision ceramic sleeve technology in a compact, flangeless design, this adapter delivers consistent performance and superior back-reflection characteristics. The APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish provides an 8-degree angled endface that virtually eliminates back reflections on both ports, making it ideal for high-density single-mode installations requiring exceptional optical performance in CATV, PON, WDM, telecommunications, data centers, and enterprise network environments.
