FC Fiber Optic Adapter, FC/APC and FC/UPC Bulkhead Coupler
The FC fiber optic adapter is a passive FC-to-FC bulkhead coupler that precisely aligns two FC plugs through a panel or enclosure wall, available in green-coded FC/APC and white-coded FC/UPC versions.
Product Overview
From the images, the adapter is a nickel-plated metal FC-FC coupler with a square mounting flange and threaded FC ports on both sides. Two finish styles are shown: one with green protective dust caps (indicating FC/APC angled polish) and one with translucent white caps (FC/UPC). It mounts into a panel cutout with the supplied hex nut.
As a passive alignment component within our fiber optic adapter range, it adds no electronics and simply holds both FC connectors centered for a low-loss, serviceable connection.

Performance & Reliability
The adapter centers the ceramic ferrules of both FC plugs; its performance depends on connector cleanliness, correct APC/UPC matching (do not mix APC and UPC in one coupler) and a snug panel fit. Keep dust caps fitted until the link is ready to connect.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between the green and white versions?
A: Green caps denote FC/APC angled polish; white/translucent caps denote FC/UPC. Always mate APC to APC and UPC to UPC.
Q: Is it panel mount?
A: Yes. The square flange and hex nut allow the coupler to be secured into a panel or enclosure wall.
Q: Does the adapter amplify the signal?
A: No. It is a passive alignment coupler; it only aligns two ferrules without any electronics.
