Overview

The Flange Coupler LC/APC Singlemode Simple Fiber Optic Adapter is a specialized connector used in fiber optic communication systems to join two LC/APC terminated single-mode fibers.

LC/APC Singlemode Key Features:

1. LC/APC Compatibility:
   • Designed for LC connectors with an Angled Physical Contact (APC) polish, which ensures minimal back reflection and optimal signal transmission.
2. Singlemode Fiber:
   • Specifically made for singlemode fiber applications, which are used for long-distance and high-bandwidth communications due to their low attenuation and high bandwidth capabilities.
3. High-Precision Alignment:
   • Features high-precision alignment sleeves, often made of ceramic, ensuring a secure and precise connection between the fibers. This alignment minimizes insertion loss and maximizes signal integrity.
4. Flange Design:
   • Equipped with a flange that allows for easy mounting and secure installation in patch panels or wall mounts, providing stability and ease of access for maintenance.
5. Simplex Configuration:
   • Designed for simplex connections, meaning it connects a single fiber strand, suitable for applications where only one fiber is required for transmission.
6. Durability:
   • Made from high-quality materials to withstand various environmental conditions, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.

Applications:

1. Telecommunications:
   • Used in telecom networks to connect singlemode fibers in long-haul and metro networks, where minimizing signal loss and back reflection is critical.
2. Data Centers:
   • Essential for high-speed data transmission and network reliability in data centers, where large volumes of data are processed and transmitted over long distances.
3. CATV Networks:
   • Employed in Cable Television (CATV) networks to maintain high-quality signal transmission over extensive areas.
4. Industrial and Medical Equipment:
   • Utilized in various industrial and medical devices that require precise and reliable fiber optic connections for data transmission.
5. FTTx (Fiber to the x):
   • Important for Fiber to the Home (FTTH), Fiber to the Building (FTTB), and other FTTx applications, enabling high-speed internet and communication services to end-users.

LC/APC Singlemode Advantages:

• Low Insertion Loss:
  • Ensures minimal signal loss during the fiber connection, maintaining high performance of the optical network.
• Low Back Reflection:
  • The APC polish reduces back reflection, which is particularly important in high-precision applications like telecommunication and data transmission.
• Ease of Installation:
  • The flange design facilitates easy mounting, making it user-friendly for installers and technicians.
