Fiber optic adapter Alantec FOA-SC-SMSS singlemode OS2 SC simplex without flange

Alantec FOA-SC-SMSS singlemode OS2 SC simplex adapter without flange provides a compact inline coupling solution for singlemode fiber optic links. Designed for use with OS2 singlemode fiber, this SC simplex adapter enables precise alignment and low-loss connections between two SC simplex plugs. The flange-less construction reduces bulk and allows installation in tight spaces, making it suitable for patch panels, splice boxes, and equipment-to-equipment fiber links in telecommunications and data network environments.

Advantages

The adapter offers stable optical alignment and consistent insertion loss typical for SC simplex couplings, ensuring reliable signal transmission in singlemode OS2 networks. Its flange-less body supports compact installations where space is limited and simplifies inline extension of fiber runs. The robust construction ensures mechanical durability for repeated mating cycles while maintaining physical contact quality required for low-reflection singlemode connections.

Suitable for

• Inline fiber patching in rack and field installations
• Connecting SC simplex-terminated singlemode OS2 patch cords
• Use inside splice panels and distribution boxes where a flange is not required
• Short links between fiber equipment modules and optical transceivers

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC simplex coupling
• Fiber type: singlemode (OS2)
• Design: flange-less (without flange) for compact inline installation
• Polish/contact: suitable for singlemode physical contact or low-reflection mating
• Material: durable polymer and metal alignment sleeve for stable mating
• Typical application: patching, panel coupling, equipment connections

How to use

Insert SC simplex plugs from each side of the adapter ensuring proper alignment and full seating until the connectors engage securely in the internal alignment sleeve. Use the adapter in a protected enclosure or panel to avoid mechanical stress on the fiber connection. Verify optical continuity and insertion loss with appropriate test equipment after installation to confirm acceptable performance for singlemode OS2 links.

Usage recommendations

Clean connector end-faces before mating to minimize insertion loss and back-reflection. Avoid twisting or bending the fiber near the adapter; follow minimum bend radius guidelines for singlemode OS2 fiber. For permanent installations, secure the adapter within a panel or splice box to prevent movement and repeated mechanical stress.
