Fiber optic adapter SC/APC Duplex Singlemode 54143

SC/APC Duplex Singlemode Fiber Optic Adapter – a reliable connection in fiber optic networks

The SC/APC duplex fiber optic adapter, designed for use with single-mode fibers, is a key element of any fiber optic installation. It serves to precisely connect two fiber optic cables terminated with SC/APC connectors, ensuring stable and efficient data transmission. Its applications include both the construction of backbone networks and connections within buildings – distribution cabinets, server rooms, or subscriber points.

### Construction and parameters ensuring high transmission quality

The adapter is characterized by careful workmanship and the use of high-quality components. The ceramic ferrule centering sleeve, polished at an 8-degree angle (APC – Angled Physical Contact), minimizes reflected signal loss, which translates to better transmission parameters of the entire connection. The duplex design allows for simultaneous data transmission and reception, increasing link bandwidth. A solid plastic housing provides durability and resistance to mechanical damage. Snap-in clips facilitate the installation and removal of the adapter and also guarantee a secure connection.

### Key features and benefits

* **Low attenuation:** Insertion loss at a level of up to 0.20 dB minimizes signal weakening, ensuring optimal transmission quality.

* **High return loss:** A value above 60 dB reduces interference caused by light reflections, improving connection reliability.

* **Precision and repeatability:** Connection repeatability at ≤ 0.1 dB guarantees stable transmission parameters even with repeated disconnection and reconnection.

* **Wide operating temperature range:** The adapter maintains its properties in a temperature range from -40°C to 80°C, allowing it to be used in various environmental conditions.

* **Mechanical strength:** Tensile strength above 10 kg and impact resistance (drop from 1.5 m) ensure reliability in difficult installation and operating conditions.

* **Easy installation:** The snap-in mounting system simplifies and speeds up adapter installation.

* **Compliance with standards:** The adapter meets IEC standards for insertion loss and return loss. Attenuation up to 0.20 dB compliant with IEC 61300-3-4, return loss above 60 dB compliant with IEC 61300-3-6, repeatability below 0.1 dB and operating temperature range from -40°C to 80°C.

The SC/APC duplex adapter is a solid and reliable solution for professionals and end-users looking for high-quality components for building fiber optic networks. It provides a stable connection, minimizes signal loss, and guarantees long-lasting and trouble-free system operation.
