EFB Elektronik 53343.32 LC/APC Duplex Fiber Optic Adapter, Single-mode, Green

The EFB Elektronik LC/APC duplex fiber optic adapter is a high-precision component engineered for single-mode network environments. Designed to facilitate reliable connections, this adapter features a durable green housing that conforms to industry standards for LC/APC interfaces. It is specifically built to fit into standard SC-simplex cut-outs, making it a versatile choice for various fiber optic patch panels and distribution frames.

Advantages

This adapter offers exceptional signal integrity through precise alignment of fiber optic cores, which is critical for maintaining low insertion loss in high-speed data networks. The inclusion of an integrated internal laser shutter provides an essential layer of protection, preventing dust contamination and shielding users from potential laser exposure when the port is not in use. Its robust construction ensures long-term stability, while the standardized design allows for seamless integration into existing telecommunications infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Telecommunications network distribution
• Fiber optic patch panels and cabinets
• Data center infrastructure
• Single-mode fiber optic cabling systems

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is specifically designed for LC/APC connectors and is not compatible with multi-mode fiber systems or different connector types such as SC or ST. It should not be used in environments where physical space does not accommodate the standard SC-simplex cut-out dimensions.

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC/APC duplex
• Fiber mode: Single-mode
• Housing color: Green
• Integrated features: Internal laser shutter
• Compatibility: SC-Simplex cut-outs
• Dimensions: 29.2 mm x 22 mm x 9.5 mm

How to use

To install the adapter, insert it into a compatible SC-simplex cut-out until the integrated clips snap securely into place. If additional stability is required, the adapter can be further secured using sheet metal or threaded screws. Once mounted, simply insert your LC/APC duplex fiber optic patch cables into the ports. The internal shutter will automatically retract upon insertion and close when the cable is removed to maintain cleanliness.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing patch panel supports SC-simplex cut-outs.
• Ensure your fiber optic cabling is single-mode to match the adapter specifications.
• Confirm that your connectors are LC/APC type to ensure proper physical contact and signal performance.

Usage recommendations

Always inspect and clean fiber optic connector end-faces with appropriate cleaning tools before insertion to ensure optimal signal transmission and prevent damage to the adapter's internal alignment sleeve.
