Metal Case SC UPC Simplex Fiber Optic Adapter with Flange

A fiber optic adapter, sometimes called a coupler, is a small component designed to connect and precisely align two fiber optic connectors . Its primary function is to allow light signals to pass from one fiber to another with minimal loss or reflection.

Specification:

Features:

1.1 Insertion Loss (IL): Ideally <0.2 dB for singlemode, <0.3 dB for multimode; lower is better.
1.2 Return Loss (RL): Typically ≥50 dB (UPC), ≥60 dB (APC).
1.3 Durability: ≥1000 mating cycles for standard adapters.
1.4 Environmental resistance: stable operation over -40°C to +85°C, resistance to dust/humidity.

Application:

2.1 Data centers: high-density patching in fiber distribution frames (ODF), patch panels, and equipment ports.
2.2 Telecommunication networks: long-haul and metro fiber links, central offices, FTTx deployments.
2.3. Local area networks (LAN), CATV, test labs, military, industrial fiber systems.
