SC/APC Duplex Fiber Optic Adapter - Single Mode
Connect your single-mode SC/APC duplex fiber cables seamlessly with this reliable snap-in fiber-optic adapter featuring angled physical contact (APC) polish. Specifically designed for fiber distribution pedestals and fiber distribution units (FDUs), this duplex adapter provides secure, low-loss coupling of dual SC/APC connections. 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 and durable plastic flanges, this adapter delivers consistent performance and superior back-reflection characteristics on both ports. The APC (Angled Physical Contact) polish provides an 8-degree angled endface that virtually eliminates back reflections, making it ideal for high-performance applications, including CATV, passive optical networks (PON), wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), and other sensitive optical systems requiring dual-fiber connections.
