STARTECH.COM LC LC connector LC fibre-optic connector LC/UPC fibre-optic duplex connector Fibre-optic cable connectors for patch

Extend a fibre network connection or join two LC duplex fibre cables with this STARTECH LC/LC keystone coupler. The female-to-female adapter keeps signal integrity high while achieving low insertion loss that exceeds industry standards. It fits securely into a keystone connector for installation in a keystone patch panel or wall plate, with no additional tools required.

The coupler is compatible with both single-mode and multimode LC/LC fibre cables. It supports OS1/OS2 (9/125µm) cores/claddings and OM1/OM2/OM3/OM4/OM5 (62.5/125µm and 50/125µm). Its durable ABS housing and ceramic-lined inner sleeves provide precise fibre alignment, minimising signal loss for long-lasting reliability and performance.

With a compact removable keystone design, this adapter is ideal for keystone patch panels and wall-plate installations. It is rated for 500 cycles with minimal insertion loss and includes protective dust covers.
