Wall-mounted Legrand Niloe Step fiber optic outlet 863471 — double 2x SC/APC, steel finish

The Legrand Niloe Step fiber optic outlet in steel finish is a wall-mounted termination point designed for indoor installations. This outlet features two SC/APC ports (2x SC/APC) that provide a fixed optical interface for terminating fiber lines, enabling neat and accessible connections for optical patching and subscriber drop lines. Its compact form is intended for mounting in standard wall boxes to keep fiber endpoints organized and protected within residential or commercial environments.

Advantages

This dual SC/APC outlet offers a reliable, low-loss connection interface for single-mode fiber with a polished angled connector type, reducing back-reflection. The steel finish delivers a discreet and durable appearance that integrates with contemporary interior fittings. Wall-mounted design simplifies installation and maintenance by keeping connectors accessible while protecting the fiber termination from accidental stress and dust.

Suitable for

• Indoor residential fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) terminations
• Small office or commercial fiber subscriber drops
• Optical patching points in communication rooms or distribution areas
• Environments requiring a compact, wall-mounted fiber outlet

Key specifications

• Connector type: two SC/APC ports (angled physical contact)
• Number of ports: 2
• Mounting: wall-mounted, for standard indoor wall boxes
• Finish: steel-colored faceplate
• Application: single-mode fiber termination and subscriber drop lines

How to use

Install the outlet in a standard wall box following local wiring regulations and fiber handling best practices. Route the incoming fiber cable to the termination point, properly prepare and splice or connectorize the fibers as required, and secure the fibers inside the outlet to avoid strain. Insert SC/APC connectors into the two ports, ensuring correct alignment and a clean end-face to maintain optimal optical performance. Close the faceplate and restore any protective elements to keep the connectors dust-free.

Usage recommendations

Handle fiber connectors with care: always use protective caps when ports are not in use, clean connector end-faces before mating, and avoid tight bends or mechanical stress on the fiber cable near the outlet. For best optical performance, use compatible single-mode SC/APC patch cords and follow standard insertion loss and return loss measurement procedures after installation.
