Optički adapter EFB Elektronik LFA120 SC/SC, multimode, limeta

EFB Elektronik LFA120 SC/SC fibre optic adapter is a compact coupling designed for multi-mode fibre connections. Finished in lime colour for quick visual identification, the adapter enables reliable mating of two SC connectors to maintain stable optical transmission in patch panels, equipment interconnects and laboratory setups. The unit supports standard multi-mode fibre geometries and is intended for straightforward inline coupling where repeatable alignment and minimal insertion loss are required.

Advantages

The adapter offers a compact, robust housing that simplifies mounting in panels or enclosures while preserving connector alignment. Colour coding in lime makes it easy to identify multi-mode paths among mixed installations. Precision ceramic or metal sleeve alignment ensures low insertion loss and consistent return loss performance appropriate for multi-mode networks. Its simple design allows quick installation and replacement without specialized tooling.

Suitable for

• Multi-mode patch panels and rack-mounted fibre distribution
• Interconnecting multi-mode transceivers and active equipment
• Laboratory test setups and fibre prototyping
• Short-distance building backbone and horizontal cabling

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC to SC duplex coupling for multi-mode fibres
• Fibre compatibility: multi-mode (MM) fibre
• Housing colour: lime for visual identification
• Alignment sleeve: precision sleeve for repeatable connector alignment
• Mounting: panel or bulkhead installation capable
• Typical application wavelength range: standard multi-mode wavelengths (e.g., 850/1300 nm)

How to use

Insert SC connectors from the two multi-mode fibre cables into each end of the adapter until they click into place, ensuring end-face cleanliness before mating. Secure the adapter in the desired panel or bulkhead cutout if required, and verify optical continuity and insertion loss with appropriate test equipment. For best performance, inspect and, if necessary, clean connector end faces with a suitable fibre cleaning tool prior to connection.

Recommendations

Use this adapter where consistent multi-mode alignment is needed and avoid exposing connector end-faces to dust or moisture. Keep spare dust caps in place when not in use and follow standard fibre handling procedures—avoid excessive bending near the connector and perform periodic optical tests to confirm link quality.
