Description
Description
This SC/APC single-mode duplex fibre optic adapter provides a high-performance, low-loss solution for connecting two SC/APC single-mode fibre patch leads. Its precision-engineered design is optimised for applications where signal integrity is critical, such as in FTTH (Fibre-to-the-Home), CATV, and telecommunications networks.
Key features
SC/APC to SC/APC duplex adapter: The coupler features two SC ports with Angled Physical Contact (APC) polish, enabling a secure and stable connection between two SC/APC patch leads for bidirectional communication.
Single-mode (OS1/OS2) compatibility: Specifically engineered for single-mode fibre, the APC polish provides minimal back-reflection and low insertion loss, ensuring optimal signal integrity over long distances.
Precision ceramic alignment sleeves: Zirconia ceramic alignment sleeves guarantee the precise mating of fibre ends, ensuring minimal signal degradation.
High-density design: While larger than LC adapters, the SC form factor is still widely used and offers a reliable connection in various patching environments.
Green colour coding: The adapter’s housing is green, which is the industry-standard colour for SC/APC connectors, making it easy to identify and manage within a fibre optic network.
Flanged or flangeless options: Available in both flanged versions for secure screw mounting and flangeless designs with metal clips for dense, tool-free panel installations.
Durable and reliable: Constructed from high-grade materials, the adapter is built for longevity and reliable performance, supporting numerous mating cycles.
Typical applications
NBN installations: Used for connecting NBN fibre equipment, particularly within FTTP setups.
Telecommunications networks: Essential for connecting equipment in central offices, cabinets, and remote nodes where signal quality is paramount.
Data centres: Utilised in backbone and equipment patching where single-mode fibre is deployed for long-distance connectivity.
CATV and video transmission: The low-back-reflection performance is ideal for analogue applications such as Cable Television (CATV).
