About this item

  • Easily mate (pair) SC UPC (blue) equipment sockets that require SC UPC (blue) connectors with existing SC APC (green) cabling infrastructure
  • Simple, powerful solution - just plug the SC UPC male side into UPC equipment, i.e a fiber media converter, router, or switch; plug the SC APC patch cord into a female socket of the adapter, and play!
  • 0 dB attenuation – no added or return loss will be introduced to the fiber link.
  • This adapter will eliminate the air gap between mating (pairing) surfaces that will appear if an SC APC patch cord is plugged into an SC UPC equipment socket, and therefore induce loss - this adapter solves this all.
  • Having these adapters at hand is an easy and fast solution in cases where SC APC (Angled Physical Contact) type cables are installed and there is no way to change to SC UPC (Ultrastraight Physical Contact) type connectors.


With APC connectors being used by most cable companies, other FTTX providers in outside plant applications, and passive optical applications (both GPONs and passive optical LANs). Future higher-speed passive optical networks and other WDM applications that will use higher wavelengths via singlemode fiber will also likely require reduced return loss of APC connectors.

These connectors usually come in the green color. However, you can’t plug them directly into most non-FTTx devices, such as fiber media converters, routers with fiber ports, switches, SFP modules, and so on. All this equipment requires SC UPC (blue) connectors.

This is where ADnet’s SC to UPC adapters come in really handy – it is a simple, fast, plug and play solution - just plug the SC UPC male side into UPC equipment, i.e a fiber media converter, router, or switch, and plug the SC APC patchcord into a female socket of the adapter

These are 0 dB loss devices, so no additional return or direct loss will be introduced into the whole fiber link.

All These Important Features Are All Supported:

  • Type: Doped Fiber
  • Operation Wavelength(nm): 1310nm or 1550nm, Use a Single Mode Type only!
  • Attenuation (dB): 0
  • Connector Type: SC APC female / SC UPC male
  • Attenuation Accuracy (dB): :+/-0.5dB
  • Return Loss (dB): PC>45, UPC>55, APC>65
  • Environment: Relative humidity; 5% to 90%
  • Operating temperature:-40 to +70 Celsius
  • Dimensions: Check Out Dimensions Drawing In the Image Gallery

I used this for testing on a Viavi olp-38, it did not last a full week of testing before it went open
