Description

StarTech LCLCSMCOUPLER LC Duplex Single Mode Fiber Coupler

Overview

The StarTech LCLCSMCOUPLER is a passive adapter designed to join two single mode LC duplex fiber optic cables. This coupler extends the reach of existing fiber optic networks, allowing you to connect two LC cables without requiring active electronics or signal conversion. It is ideal for extending network backbone connections or patching fiber runs in data centers, telecommunications closets, or surveillance system head-ends where existing cable lengths are insufficient.

Compatibility

This coupler is compatible with all standard single mode LC duplex fiber optic cables. It functions as a passive inline connector, meaning it does not require specific software or hardware integration with network devices. Its straight-through connection design ensures compatibility with any system utilizing single mode LC duplex fiber, including network switches, media converters, and IP camera systems that employ single mode fiber uplinks.

Installation Notes

The adapter features a compact, straight-through connector style for straightforward inline installation. Simply plug an LC duplex cable into each port. The operating temperature range of -40 to 85 C ensures reliable performance in a variety of environmental conditions, from cold storage facilities to warm equipment racks. The low insertion loss of 0.2dB minimizes signal degradation over the extended link.
