Descriptions
A Singlemode Quad APC LC to LC Fiber Optic Coupler is a device used to connect four pairs of single-mode fiber optic cables, each terminated with LC APC connectors. It allows for high-performance, low-loss interconnection between fiber cables in high-density optical communication networks.
Breakdown of the Components:
Singlemode: Single-mode fiber is designed for long-distance communication by carrying light signals through a single optical path, minimizing modal dispersion and allowing for low signal loss over large distances. Single-mode fiber is commonly used in telecommunications, wide-area networks (WANs), and other long-distance data transmission systems.
Quad: Quad refers to the coupler's capability to connect four pairs of fibers. This allows for a higher density of fiber connections within a compact form factor, making it ideal for installations that require multiple fiber connections in a limited space, such as in data centers or telecommunication racks.
APC (Angled Physical Contact): APC connectors have an 8-degree angled end-face that significantly reduces signal reflection (return loss), making them suitable for high-precision, long-distance communication systems. It typically offer excellent return loss performance (better than -65 dB), which is critical in minimizing signal degradation and maintaining high-quality data transmission.
LC Connector: LC (Lucent Connector) is a small-form-factor connector designed for high-density fiber optic applications. Its compact size allows more connections to be housed in a smaller space compared to larger connector types, making it ideal for environments where space is limited. LC connectors feature a push-pull latch design, making them easy to install and remove.
Main Features
High Return Loss and Low Insertion Loss: The APC polish provides very high return loss and low insertion loss, ensuring high signal integrity, especially for long-distance and high-speed applications.
Quad Configuration: Allows for the connection of four pairs of fibers in a compact design, increasing the density of fiber connections in critical installations like data centers and telecommunications systems.
LC Connectors: The small size of LC connectors enables high-density connections in fiber panels and other compact networking equipment.
Optimized for Long-Distance Applications: Single-mode fiber with APC connectors is designed for long-distance, high-precision data transmission, making it ideal for use in telecommunications networks, data centers, and optical distribution frames (ODFs).
