Net-Server LW-SCFC-02 FC–SC Simplex Fibre Optic Adapter

Net-Server LW-SCFC-02 is a hybrid fibre optic adapter for joining cables fitted with FC and SC connectors. It is used to connect a fibre optic patch cable to a pigtail or to join two patch cables with different connector types. The adapter supports both single-mode (SM) and multimode (MM) fibre.

The adapter features an SC simplex mounting footprint for installation in a compatible fibre optic patch panel or distribution box. It allows an FC connection to be added to a panel with SC simplex mounting positions without replacing the panel itself.

Technical specifications

Applications

The adapter is used in fibre optic patch panels and distribution boxes to connect cables with FC and SC connectors. It is suitable for upgrading existing cabling infrastructure when a different connector type needs to be accommodated.

Frequently asked questions

Can this adapter replace an SC simplex adapter?
The adapter is designed for an SC simplex mounting position. Check the dimensions and retention method of the specific panel before installation.

Does the adapter convert single-mode fibre to multimode?
No. It joins FC and SC connectors but does not convert the fibre type or optical signal. The fibre types and connector polish types used in the connection must be compatible.

Does the adapter require power?
No. It is a passive optical component and requires no electrical power.
