DESCRIPTION
The SC/APC to SC/APC Simplex Inner Shutter Fiber Optic Adapter is designed to deliver secure, precise, and safe single mode fiber connections. It features an inner shutter that provides laser eye protection and prevents dust or debris from contaminating the optical interface. Customers can select either a flange type for secure panel mounting or a flangeless version for compact, high-density installations.
With its green housing (APC polish) and zirconia ceramic sleeve, this adapter guarantees low insertion loss and minimal back reflection, making it highly reliable for telecom, FTTH, CATV, and data center applications.
FEATURE DETAILS
- Inner Shutter Protection: Blocks harmful laser emissions and reduces dust contamination.
- With or Without Flange: Offers installation flexibility depending on panel or high-density requirements.
- APC Polish (Green): Ensures very low return loss, ideal for high-performance single mode applications.
- Zirconia Ceramic Sleeve: Provides stable and precise fiber alignment.
- Long-Term Durability: Designed for repeated connections in demanding environments.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between the flange and flangeless versions?
With flange: Provides secure mounting in patch panels or enclosures.
Without flange: Features a compact design suitable for high-density cabling environments.
Q2: Why is the adapter green?
Green is the standard color code for APC (Angled Physical Contact) polishing.
Q3: Can it be used with UPC connectors?
No, this adapter is specifically designed for SC/APC to SC/APC simplex connections and is not compatible with UPC connectors.
Q4: How does the inner shutter improve safety?
The inner shutter automatically closes when the connector is removed, blocking potential laser exposure and preventing dust from entering the adapter.
Q5: Where is this adapter most commonly installed?
It is commonly used in FTTH systems, data centers, telecom networks, CATV systems, and test environments.
