LC/APC SM DX (GREEN)FIBER OPTIC ADAPTER(COUPLER)

The LC/APC SM DX (GREEN) Fiber Optic Adapter (Coupler) is a high-performance connector designed for establishing precise and reliable connections between two LC single-mode fiber optic connectors. The duplex (DX) configuration allows for simultaneous bidirectional communication over two fibers. The key feature of this adapter is the Angled Physical Contact (APC) polish, indicated by its green color. The 8-degree angle on the fiber end-face dramatically reduces back reflection (return loss) to ≥ 60 dB, which is critical for sensitive single-mode applications such as telecommunications, CATV, and high-speed data transmission. The ceramic (zirconia) alignment sleeve ensures accurate fiber core alignment, resulting in minimal insertion loss (typically ≤ 0.2 dB) and consistent performance over numerous mating cycles. This adapter is commonly used in patch panels, equipment interfaces, and testing applications where minimizing optical return loss is paramount for signal integrity. Dust caps are typically included to protect the adapter from contamination.
