## Summary description

Singlemode fiber optic adapter Alantec FOA-LC-SMDS provides LC duplex connection without a flange. Designed for singlemode (SM) networks, it mates two LC simplex/duplex connectors to enable signal pass-through and link extension. Suited for patch panels, fiber enclosures and inline couplings where compact LC duplex coupling and reliable singlemode alignment are required.

## Long description

The Alantec FOA-LC-SMDS singlemode LC duplex adapter provides a compact, flange‑less coupling solution for singlemode fiber links. Designed to mate two LC simplex or duplex connectors, this adapter supports accurate fiber alignment and low insertion loss in SM networks. Its no‑flange format makes it suitable for inline installations, patch panels with compatible cutouts, and fiber enclosures where space is limited. The adapter is intended for use with LC connectors in applications requiring reliable singlemode signal pass‑through and straightforward link extension.
Advantages
The adapter offers precise ferrule alignment for consistent optical performance and minimal signal loss in singlemode circuits. Its duplex LC form factor enables two channels in a compact footprint while the absence of a flange reduces bulk and allows flexible placement in inline couplings and custom panels. The component is made to provide mechanical stability between mated LC connectors and maintain connection integrity under normal handling.
Suitable for
 Singlemode patch panels with LC duplex slots
 Fiber distribution enclosures and splicing cabinets
 Inline coupling where no flange mounting is required
 Network link extension between LC terminated cables
Key specifications
 Connector type: LC duplex (two channels)
 Fiber type: singlemode
 Format: no‑flange (flangeless) inline adapter
 Alignment method: ceramic ferrule alignment
 Mounting: designed for inline coupling and compatible cutouts in enclosures
How to use
Insert LC connectors from each cable into the two adapter ports until they click into place, ensuring proper orientation and full seating for optimal optical contact. For inline use, position the adapter in the enclosure or cable run where the flangeless body can be supported by the surrounding structure or panel cutout. To disconnect, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule. Inspect connector endfaces and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating to minimize insertion loss and back reflection.
Usage recommendations
Use standard singlemode cleaning procedures and inspection equipment before and after connecting. Avoid excessive bending near the mated connectors and secure cabling to prevent strain on the adapter. For installations in panels or enclosures, verify compatibility of cutout dimensions and provide mechanical support to prevent movement that could affect alignment.
