Product Highlights:

LC/APC single-mode connector with green housing and 3.0 mm boot designed for ultra-low back reflection and high-precision optical performance.
Features a pre-domed ceramic ferrule and corrosion-resistant body for stable, low-loss connections in advanced APC applications.
Ideal for telecom, FTTx, broadband, and high-accuracy testing systems requiring high return-loss APC termination.

Description

The LC/APC Single Mode Connector with green housing and a 3.0 mm boot is engineered for high-performance optical termination where ultra-low back reflection is required. Featuring an angled physical contact (APC) ferrule geometry, this connector delivers exceptional return loss performance, making it ideal for FTTx networks, high-precision measurement systems, and long-distance single-mode applications. Its epoxy-based structure and pre-domed ceramic ferrule facilitate smooth assembly, ensuring consistent polishing, precise fiber alignment, and stable low insertion loss.

The connector body is constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, offering long-term durability even in high-density patching environments. The compact LC form factor supports modern network architectures where space efficiency is critical. The 3.0 mm boot provides strong strain relief, while compatibility with 2.0 mm and 900 µm versions offers flexibility for various cable assemblies. Fully compliant with Telecordia GR-326-CORE and RoHS standards, this LC/APC connector ensures reliable, high-quality performance throughout its service life.
