Single-mode fiber optic adapter SM SC/APC duplex ALANTEC FOA-SCA-SMD

Single-mode SM SC/APC duplex fiber optic adapter is a key element in building reliable fiber optic networks. It is used to precisely connect two fiber optic cables terminated with SC/APC connectors, and is primarily used in switches, where it connects patch cords with pigtails spliced to the fiber optic cable, as well as in subscriber sockets.

This adapter, manufactured by ALANTEC – a Polish leader in structured cabling systems – is characterized by high quality workmanship and provides a stable connection, minimizing signal loss. A-LAN Technologie, the company that owns the ALANTEC brand, has been supplying proven products with a multi-year system warranty to the European market for years.

Key features and applications

SC connectors are popular due to their ease of use – the snap-in connection simplifies assembly and disassembly. The rectangular shape allows for efficient use of space on panels, and the solid construction (with a ferrule made of high-quality materials) guarantees long-term reliability. Duplex adapters allow simultaneous data transmission in both directions, which is standard in modern networks.

• Connection type: SM APC (SingleMode Angled Physical Contact) – an 8-degree angle of polish minimizes signal reflections, which is especially important in applications requiring high transmission accuracy.
• Insertion loss: Low insertion loss at 0.15 dB ensures minimal signal power drop during transmission.
• Repeatability: High connection repeatability (±0.1 dB) guarantees stable connection parameters even after multiple disconnections and reconnections.
• Durability: Tested for over 1000 connection and disconnection cycles – high resistance to mechanical damage and wear.
• Wide temperature range: The ability to operate in a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C makes the adapter suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
• Ferrule diameter: Standard ferrule diameter of 2.5 mm ensures compatibility with most devices and fiber optic cables.

The ALANTEC SM SC/APC duplex adapter is a reliable solution for both professional installers and end-users looking for high-quality components for building or expanding fiber optic networks. It provides optimal data transmission performance and long-term connection stability.
