Product Overview

LC/PC Adapter MM is part of the fiber adapter range built by Ever Expresslink Limited in Ningbo, China. It is built on the LC (Lucent Connector) interface.

We supply LC fiber optic adapters, including simplex, duplex and quad types; these LC adapters are single mode and multimode styles with plastic housing and zirconia sleeve, with optional bronze sleeve adapters for multimode. There are stand LC fiber adapter and SC footprint LC fiber optic adapters available.

LC fiber optic adapter applications Gigabit Ethernet Video CATV Active device/Transceiver interface Telecommunication networks Metro networks Premise installations Multimedia Industrial and military LC fiber optic adapter features Compact design Telcordia, ANSI, TIA/EIA, and ISO compliance Color coding & polarization High precision alignment Low insertion and return loss and back reflection

Small form-factor transceivers are built around it, so LC is what a data-center or an access switch presents to you whether you wanted it or not. The latch is small and breaks if the cord is pulled sideways out of a dense panel. Use a boot or a push-pull tab on panels packed to 48 ports and above.

Multimode fiber carries many modes in a 50 or 62.5 µm core, which makes alignment and coupling far more forgiving over short distances. Use it inside buildings, data halls and campus backbones where reach is short and low-cost VCSEL transceivers do the work.

PC is the baseline physical-contact polish, with a lighter dome than UPC. It appears on older plant and on multimode links where return loss is not the limiting factor.

Key Benefits

Supplied as LC/PC Adapter MM, so the part you receive matches the designation you ordered against
PC end face: It appears on older plant and on multimode links where return loss is not the limiting factor.
Multimode at 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm: Use it inside buildings, data halls and campus backbones where reach is short and low-cost VCSEL transceivers do the work.
Dust caps fitted so ports stay clean until they are commissioned
Color coding by polish type, so APC ports are visible at a glance
Simplex, duplex and quad bodies for different port densities

Problems It Solves

Panel cut-outs that do not match the adapter flange being supplied
Dust entering open ports between commissioning and service turn-up
Mixed single-mode and multimode adapters in the same field with no visual difference
Loose panel mounting that lets the adapter move when a cord is pulled

Application Scenarios

Data-center structured cabling
Building faceplates and terminal boxes on an assembly bench
Creating temporary cross-connects on a test bench
Stocking spare ports for emergency restoration
Populating an optical distribution frame during a build-out

Who It Is For

FTTH terminal box and closure assemblers
Maintenance teams replacing worn ports
Distributors stocking a full adapter matrix
ODF and patch panel manufacturers

Values shown are those carried by the product designation. Dimensional and optical values for a specific order are confirmed on the quotation.

Manufacturing Process

Sleeve inner diameter inspection on incoming parts
Housing molding or machining
Sleeve insertion and retention check
Mating force and alignment verification
Dust cap fitting and packing

Quality Control

Sleeve inner diameter sampled per lot
Insertion loss checked with reference cords on sample units
Repeated mating durability test on samples
Panel fit verified against the stated cut-out dimension
Visual check for sleeve seating and housing flash

Customization Options

Ceramic or bronze sleeve
Flanged, flangeless or square mount
Simplex, duplex or quad body
Housing color to your polish convention
Private-label bagging for distributors

Compared With Other Options

SC	SC is more forgiving to handle; LC fits twice the ports per rack unit
MTRJ	MTRJ carries a duplex pair in one ferrule; LC keeps the two fibres separately serviceable
APC version	APC adds an eight degree angle so reflections leave the core, which matters on PON, CATV and RF-over-glass paths. It is not interchangeable with this part.
Single mode version	Single mode costs more at the transceiver but carries reach and upgrade headroom that multimode cannot.

Handling LC/PC Adapter MM

Before You Order

Confirm the panel cut-out before ordering flanged or flangeless
Keep dust caps on both sides until the port is commissioned
Clean both ferrules before every mating, not only the first one

In Service

Replace rather than clean a sleeve that has visible wear
Keep APC and UPC ports physically separated and color coded
Torque panel screws evenly so the body does not sit skewed

FAQ

Questions About LC/PC Adapter MM

What do you need from us to quote LC/PC Adapter MM?

The quantity, the destination and anything that has to match on your side: connector and polish at each end, fiber mode and core size, and length where the item is an assembly. If you are matching a part you already buy, send the sample and we will quote against it.

Can LC/PC Adapter MM be supplied with a different connector interface?

Yes. LC (Lucent Connector) is what this designation carries, and the same family is stocked across the other mainstream connector standards. Tell us the port you have to mate with and we will confirm the equivalent part.

Is LC/PC Adapter MM available in the other fiber mode?

This item is multimode. Core size has to match end to end. Mixing 62.5/125 and 50/125 in one channel costs several dB at the junction. The corresponding version in the other fiber mode is available; confirm the installed plant at both ends before ordering.

Do adapters come with dust caps?

Yes, adapters are supplied with caps on both sides. Leave them in place until the port is actually patched, because an open port in a dusty building will need cleaning before first use.

What is the difference between a ceramic and a bronze sleeve?

Ceramic sleeves hold tighter tolerance and wear more slowly, which is what you want on single-mode and on ports that get re-patched often. Bronze is a lower-cost option normally used on multimode.
