LC/APC Fiber Optic Connectors – Reliability and Connection Precision

LC/APC fiber optic connectors are essential components in modern telecommunications and data networks. They are characterized by their small size, which allows for efficient use of space in patch panels and high-density distribution frames. The snap-lock system ensures a stable and secure connection, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnection.

These connectors are widely used in various environments, from LAN/WAN networks, through FTTD (Fiber To The Desk), to railways, cable television and precise measurements. Their versatility and reliability make them an ideal choice for both professional installers and end users.

Construction and parameters ensuring high transmission quality

LC/APC connectors by Qoltec are characterized by high quality workmanship and precision. The use of a ceramic ferrule guarantees the stability of the optical fiber and minimizes signal loss. APC (Angled Physical Contact) polishing further reduces light reflection, which is crucial for ensuring optimal transmission performance, especially in applications requiring high signal precision.

The connectors are designed to work with single-mode fibers with a diameter of 125 µm, with a buffer of 250 µm and cables with a diameter of 3.0 mm. They meet stringent standards for attenuation (≤ 0.3 dB at 1310nm and 1550nm), connection force (above 4N for bare fiber and 8N in the connector) and mechanical strength (above 10N). The operating temperature range from -40°C to +75°C ensures reliable operation even in harsh environmental conditions.
