This fiber optic coupler is designed for connecting two LC Duplex fiber cables with UPC polished ends, making it ideal for extending network connections in structured cabling environments. It is commonly used in data centers, telecommunications, and enterprise networking setups where high-speed and reliable fiber connectivity is essential. The coupler ensures minimal signal loss and maintains optimal signal integrity, which is crucial for maintaining performance in high-bandwidth applications.
The coupler supports a wide range of fiber types, including Single Mode and Multimode fibers, and is compatible with OS1/OS2 (9/125µm) and OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4/OM5 (62.5/125µm and 50/125µm) cables. This versatility makes it suitable for various network infrastructures. It also supports data transfer rates up to 100Gbps, meeting the demands of modern high-speed networks. The insertion loss is below 0.2dB, exceeding TIA 568 B.3 industry standards for performance.
The coupler features a durable ABS housing that provides protection against wear and tear, while the ceramic-lined inner sleeves ensure precise alignment of the fiber ends. This design minimizes signal loss and ensures long-term reliability. The removable keystone jack allows for easy installation into keystone patch panels or wall plates without the need for additional tools. The coupler also includes protective dust covers to prevent contamination of the fiber ends when not in use.
Installation is straightforward with a plug-and-play design that requires no tools. The coupler snaps securely into the keystone jack using metal tabs, ensuring a stable connection. It is recommended to pair this coupler with LC/LC fiber cables that have UPC polished ends for optimal performance. The compact design makes it suitable for tight spaces in patch panels or wall-mounted setups.
