Description
SC/APC to FC/APC Fibre Optic Adapter – High Precision Hybrid Adapter for Superior Connectivity
The SC/APC to FC/APC Fibre Optic Adaptor is a premium-grade hybrid connector designed to bridge different types of fiber optic interfaces—specifically SC/APC (Subscriber Connector with Angled Physical Contact) and FC/APC (Ferrule Connector with Angled Physical Contact). This adapter is essential for engineers, network installers, and fiber optic technicians who need seamless, high-performance interconnection between devices and components that use these two distinct connector types.
This adapter ensures a secure and stable connection, maintaining high return loss and low insertion loss, even in demanding network environments. It is particularly useful in situations where equipment with varying connector standards needs to communicate effectively.
Key Features
✅ Hybrid SC/APC to FC/APC Interface
This adapter supports a hybrid interface that combines SC/APC and FC/APC connector types. It allows for quick and easy connections between patch cords and equipment with different interface standards, without the need to replace or re-terminate cables.
✅ Angled Physical Contact (APC) Polish
Both ends of the adapter feature APC polishing, which reduces back reflection (return loss) significantly. With a typical return loss of ≥60 dB, the adapter ensures signal stability, especially for high-bandwidth, long-distance, or sensitive applications such as CATV, internet service, and testing.
✅ Low Insertion Loss
Manufactured with high-quality ceramic sleeves and precision-engineered internal components, this adapter maintains a low insertion loss, typically less than 0.2 dB. This ensures that signal loss is minimal across the connection, preserving the integrity of your network.
✅ Durable and Reliable Build
Built using high-strength polymer or metal housing, the adapter offers excellent mechanical performance. It withstands high mating cycles (up to 1000 times) without losing connectivity or increasing insertion loss. It is resistant to dust, corrosion, and physical wear, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
✅ Easy to Use and Install
The adapter’s design allows for simple installation in patch panels, wall plates, distribution frames, or directly between fiber optic cables. Its snap-in or threaded coupling mechanism ensures secure attachment and detachment.
