Key Features

Engineered For Performance

Compact High-Density Design

LC adapters occupy half the panel space of SC adapters, enabling twice the port density in patch panels and distribution frames — ideal for space-constrained data center environments.

Optional Dust Shutter

Built-in shutter mechanism automatically covers the adapter port when not in use, preventing dust contamination of the ceramic sleeve and maintaining consistent optical performance.

Dual Housing Options

Available in lightweight plastic housing for standard installations and rugged metal housing for industrial and high-vibration environments, both with identical optical performance.

Precision Ceramic Sleeve

Zirconia ceramic split sleeve ensures sub-micron fiber core alignment between mated connectors, delivering repeatable low insertion loss across thousands of mating cycles.

Typical Applications

01

Data Center Patch Panels

High-density LC duplex adapters in 1U and 2U rack-mount panels supporting 48–96 ports for 10G/25G/100G SFP and QSFP transceiver interconnects.

02

Fiber Distribution Frames

LC adapters in ODF and fiber distribution hubs for telecom central office cross-connect and outside plant fiber management.

03

Enterprise Structured Cabling

Wall-mount outlets and floor boxes with LC adapters for office, hospital, and campus fiber backbone termination points.
