Function and compatibility Connects an SC/APC female receptacle to an LC/APC male plug, enabling direct mating between different APC connector types without adapters or cable changes. Ideal when equipment, patch panels, or cabling use different connector formats but require APC (angled physical contact) terminations. Key benefits — why you need it Saves time and reduces inventory by letting you link SC/APC ports to LC/APC cables without repatching or replacing cables. Preserves signal integrity with low insertion loss for reliable data transmission. Small, lightweight size makes routing and cable management simpler in crowded enclosures. Construction and reliability Crafted from robust materials for consistent performance in both indoor and outdoor environments. Designed for repeated connections while maintaining alignment and optical performance. Performance and handling Low insertion loss helps maintain network throughput and minimizes signal degradation across the connection. Compact form factor allows installation in tight spaces and keeps racks and enclosures neat. Practical applications Data centers and telecom rooms: link LC/APC patch cords to equipment or panel ports that use SC/APC interfaces without re-terminating cables. FTTH and outside plant installations: adapt field-installed SC/APC ports to LC/APC customer drop or test cables while withstanding typical indoor/outdoor conditions. Test and maintenance: provide a quick, reliable connection between SC/APC test ports and LC/APC test leads during commissioning and troubleshooting. Specifications at a glance Connector pair: SC/APC female to LC/APC male Key attributes: low insertion loss, compact and lightweight, suitable for indoor and outdoor use This adapter provides a simple, durable, and low-loss solution for connecting SC/APC and LC/APC terminated fiber without changing existing cabling or equipment.
