Fiber Optic Adapter EFB Elektronik SC/SC Simplex Singlemode OM2 beige, plastic housing, ceramic sleeve

The EFB Elektronik SC/SC Simplex Singlemode OM2 adapter provides a compact, beige plastic housing with a ceramic sleeve engineered for precise fiber alignment and minimal insertion loss. Designed for OM2 singlemode fibers, this adapter enables stable optical coupling between two SC simplex singlemode connectors. It is suitable for mounting in patch panels, enclosures or wall outlets where consistent signal integrity and straightforward connector mating are required.

Advantages

The ceramic sleeve ensures consistent connector alignment and durability over repeated matings, reducing back reflection and insertion loss. The plastic housing offers lightweight handling and easy installation into standard mounting locations. The simplex SC/SC format supports direct point-to-point connections and simple in-line repairs or extensions without the need for additional tools beyond standard fiber connection procedures.

Suitable for

• Field and rack-mounted patch panels for singlemode OM2 networks
• Fiber wall outlets and in-room connections
• On-site network repairs and temporary extensions
• Enclosures and distribution boxes in office or data center environments

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC female to SC female, simplex
• Fiber mode: Singlemode (compatible with OM2 cabling)
• Housing material: Plastic, beige color
• Alignment sleeve: Ceramic for stable optical contact
• Mounting style: Panel/enclosure compatible simplex adapter
• Typical application: Optical coupling for patching and repairs

How to use

Insert the adapter into the designated panel cutout or wall outlet opening until it seats firmly. Clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating. Align the SC connector ferrule with the adapter opening and push until the connector latches into place. For disconnection, unlatch the SC connector and withdraw straight out to avoid bending the fiber. Ensure both ends are properly cleaned and inspected to maintain low insertion loss and reduce the risk of contamination.

Usage recommendations

Use lint-free wipes and approved fiber cleaning fluid on connector endfaces prior to every connection. Avoid excessive lateral force on mated connectors and maintain bend radii recommended for singlemode fiber to preserve optical performance and adapter lifetime.
