The LC APC Fast Fiber Optic Connector is designed for high-density fiber networks where compact size and low back reflection are critical. By combining LC connector form factor with APC angled polishing, this fast connector provides reliable optical performance for FTTH, FTTx, and data communication applications.
Using fiber pre-embedded mechanical splicing technology, the connector enables fast on-site termination without epoxy, polishing, or fusion splicing. After termination, both optical and mechanical performance meet patch cord standards, making it suitable for field-made patch cords and rapid network deployment.
With low insertion loss and high return loss, the LC APC fast connector is widely used in optical equipment rooms, fiber distribution frames, and access networks where space efficiency and signal stability are required.
- Compact LC connector design, ideal for high-density installations
- APC angled end-face polishing for reduced back reflection
- Fiber pre-embedded mechanical splicing technology
- No epoxy, no polishing, no fusion splicing required
- Short operation time and easy field installation
- Optical performance comparable to factory-made patch cords
