Fiber Optic Adapter LANBERG SM LC/APC Duplex

LANBERG Fiber Optic Adapter LANBERG SM LC/APC Duplex is a single-mode coupling element engineered to provide precise alignment and stable connection between two LC/APC duplex fiber connectors. Intended for installation in patch panels, wall plates or fiber enclosures, this adapter supports SM (single-mode) optical links and ensures low insertion loss and repeatable mating performance in telecom, data center and LAN environments.

Advantages

The adapter offers accurate ferrule alignment and a compact duplex format that saves space in high-density installations. Its APC-compatible angled sleeve design reduces back reflections in single-mode networks and supports consistent optical performance over repeated insertions and removals. The housing and internal sleeve materials are chosen for mechanical stability and reliable long-term operation.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber patch panels and distribution frames
• Wall outlets and faceplates for FTTH and premises cabling
• Data center fiber trunking and interconnect bays
• Telecom and carrier infrastructure requiring LC/APC duplex connections
• Laboratory and test bench setups with LC/APC equipment

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC/APC duplex interface for single-mode fibers
• Mode: Single-mode (SM)
• Alignment sleeve: Angled physical contact (APC) compatible
• Format: Duplex, saves panel space compared to simplex adapters
• Typical application: Patch panels, wall plates, fiber enclosures

How to use

Mount the adapter into the chosen panel cutout or wall plate aperture, ensuring the adapter snaps or secures into the mounting bracket according to the panel design. Insert LC/APC duplex connectors into each side of the adapter until they click and establish the optical connection. When disconnecting, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid stress on the fiber. Verify optical continuity and insertion loss with appropriate test equipment after installation.

Usage recommendations

Handle connectors and the adapter with dust caps in place until final connection. Clean LC/APC end faces with suitable fiber cleaning tools before mating to maintain low insertion loss and prevent contamination. Avoid excessive lateral force on mated connectors and secure patch cords to reduce mechanical strain.
