Re: [AFMUG] LC to FC Fiber Optic Adapter - Any experience?

[Josh Luthman]

Had a pair on a tower for something like 10 years.

Ideally I'd like to have the right ends but these are so brain dead easy
and simple it's hard to go through the money/hassle when it's an $11 fix
that works just fine.

I use these as well with my testing equipment (Light source/meter and OTDR)
without any issues.

Maybe some matching jell would hello let the connector loss.

You will be fine with the connector.. 

BTW, to put you at ease, those adapters are normally used on Light Meters ... 
:) 
I have them, and use them with the light meter.

I used some LC to ST for something or other once upon a time and didn't 
have any issues.

There is nothing wrong in using these adapters, they work well. 
There may be a wee bit of extra loss created, nothing different
than what is created by having a 'connector'.

Have any of you ever used one of these adapters to go from LC
to FC?  I'm trying to decide if I should pull a new cable or
just adapt it.  It is for a 10G connection, and I don't know
if the adapters are reliable or if they are another potential
point of failure.

Single mode.  This is the issue.  We already have a multimode and a
singlemode fiber in the conduit.  We have LC Duplex on both ends of both
cables.  We used to run into the upstream Cisco DeMarc.  Now, we are doing
a direct handoff 10G into their fiber distribution panel.

[Faisal Imtiaz]

Question:- 
What is the type of existing cable you have currently in place ? 
Single Mode Fiber (typically yellow jacket) or Multi-Mode Fiber (typically 
orange jacket). 

There is nothing wrong in using these adapters, they work well. There may be a 
wee bit of extra loss created, nothing different than what is created by having 
a 'connector'.
