Fiber optic adapter collarless single-mode OS2 SC simplex ALANTEC FOA-SC-SMSS

Fiber Optic Adapters – Reliable Connections in Fiber Optic Networks

The ALANTEC OS2 SC simplex single-mode fiber optic adapter is a key element of network infrastructure, enabling precise and stable connection of fiber optic cables. Designed to work with single-mode fibers (SM), this adapter is used in both telecommunications installations and data networks, ensuring optimal signal transmission. Its collarless design simplifies installation and removal, and its compact dimensions allow for dense packing in cabinets and patch panels.

Construction and Application

Fiber optic adapters act as an intermediary between two fiber optic cables terminated with SC connectors. They allow for quick and convenient connection and disconnection, which is particularly useful during maintenance, network reconfiguration, or troubleshooting. They are widely used in switches, connecting patch cords with pigtails spliced to fiber optic cable, as well as in subscriber outlets. SC connectors, due to their ease of use and the reliability of the latching mechanism, are one of the most popular solutions on the market. The ALANTEC adapter is characterized by high precision, which translates into minimal signal loss and connection stability.

Parameters and Benefits

The FOA-SC-SMSS adapter stands out with a number of features affecting its performance and reliability:

• Fiber type: single-mode (OS2) – provides high bandwidth and transmission range.
• Connector type: SC simplex – standard connector with a rectangular shape, easy to use.
• Insertion loss: 0.15 dB – minimizes signal attenuation, guaranteeing high transmission quality.
• Loss repeatability: ±0.1 dB – ensures connection stability and predictable performance.
• Durability: over 1000 cycles – high resistance to mechanical damage and long-term use.
• Operating temperature range: from -40°C to +85°C – allows use in a wide range of environmental conditions.
• Ferrule diameter: 2.5 mm – precise fit to standard fiber optic cables.
• Collarless design: simplifies adapter installation and removal in tight spaces and increases packing density on the panel.

By choosing ALANTEC adapters, you are investing in reliable network components that will ensure stable data transmission and minimize the risk of failure. A-LAN Technologie products are known for their high quality and compliance with industry standards.
