S/CONN fibre optic adapter LC/LC 1 pc Violet Single-mode

The ShiverPeaks S/CONN fibre optic adapter LC/LC 1 pc Violet Single-mode is a single-mode LC to LC coupling designed to align and join two LC-terminated fiber cables. Supplied as a single unit in a distinctive violet housing, this adapter supports precision mating of LC connectors for low insertion loss and stable optical performance in single-mode fiber links.

Advantages

The adapter provides precise mechanical alignment for LC ferrules, minimizing insertion loss and back reflection in single-mode installations. Its compact form factor allows high-density mounting in patch panels and fiber enclosures. The colored violet housing enables easy identification of the connection type or circuit within a fiber infrastructure, supporting organized cable management and rapid troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fiber patching and splicing in telecom and data center environments
• High-density fiber patch panels and distribution frames
• LAN/WAN backbone and point-to-point single-mode links
• Fiber optic test setups and laboratory use where LC connectors are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC to LC duplex-compatible adapter
• Fiber type: Single-mode (SM)
• Housing color: Violet for easy identification
• Form factor: Compact inline adapter suitable for standard LC cutouts
• Typical performance: low insertion loss and low reflectance for single-mode connections

How to use

Install the adapter into a compatible panel cutout or holder designed for LC adapters. Ensure both LC connector ferrules are clean and free of debris before insertion to maintain optimal optical performance. Insert the LC connector from each cable into the adapter until it clicks into place, creating a secure optical joint. To remove, depress the connector latch and gently withdraw the connector from the adapter.

Recommendations

For reliable, long-term performance, clean connector end faces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating, avoid excessive bending of single-mode fibers near the adapter, and use the violet color coding consistently within your network design to prevent mismating.
