Key features:

Connector Type: LC (Lucent Connector)The LC connector is a Small Form Factor (SFF) connector, enabling high-density installations in patch panels and ODFs.

Adapter Footprint: SC FootprintThis adapter is designed to snap into a panel cut-out sized for a standard SC simplex or SC duplex adapter. This is a crucial feature for upgrading existing infrastructure from SC to LC without replacing the entire panel.

Polarity/Count: DuplexIt connects two fibers simultaneously, matching the duplex LC connector. This is essential for full-duplex communication (send and receive paths).

Polish Type: APC (Angled Physical Contact)The ferrule ends are polished at an 8-degree angle to minimize back reflection (Return Loss, RL). This is vital for high-bandwidth and sensitive network applications like CATV, FTTx, and PON systems.

Color Coding: GreenIn fiber optic industry standards (e.g., TIA/EIA-568-C.3), the green color consistently identifies a Single-Mode fiber component with an APC polish.

Sleeve Material: Zirconia Ceramic2The internal mating sleeve is made of high-precision ceramic to ensure exact alignment of the fiber ferrules and minimize insertion loss.

Performance: Low Insertion Loss (4$IL$): Typically 5$\leq 0.2 \text{ dB}$, ensuring minimal signal degradation when connecting patch cords.

High Return Loss ($RL$): Guaranteed high performance due to the APC polish, often $\geq 60 \text{ dB}$.
