No Compromises: Your Fiber Optic Network, Safe from Water and Dust
When your fiber optic connection is exposed to the elements, you need more than just a standard coupler. You need a fortress. The LogiLink FA05SD3 is exactly that: an IP68 outdoor fiber optic connector that absolutely reliably protects your SC-Duplex connection from dust, dirt, and even continuous submersion in water. Forget loose connections or corrosion – with this connector, your data connection runs stably, no matter what the weather brings.
Maximum Performance: 10 GBit/s Without Noticeable Signal Loss
In a high-speed Network, every decibel counts. That's why LogiLink uses a high-quality SC-Duplex coupler with a precise ceramic sleeve inside this connector. The result is an impressively low maximum insertion loss of only 0.2 dB. This means for you: Your 10 GBit/s signals arrive clean and strong at their destination, without the coupler becoming a bottleneck. Perfect for demanding applications where maximum bandwidth is crucial.
Easy Assembly, Flexible Application
Despite its extreme robustness, the FA05SD3 is incredibly easy to assemble. You don't need any special tools. Simply insert the SC connectors into the coupler, screw the housing shut, and secure the cables with the glands. The sleeves are flexible and perfectly seal cables with diameters from 1.0 mm to 3.5 mm. Whether you want to make a 'flying' weatherproof SC Duplex Cable extension or permanently integrate the connector into an Enclosure – both are easily possible.
Built for Harsh Environments: The Fiber Optic Coupler for Professionals
Developed for professional use where standard components reach their limits. The housing made of durable Polyamide (PA66) with flammability class UL94V-2 makes this fiber optic coupler the first choice for industrial plants, outdoor installations, event technology, or maritime applications. Wherever reliability is not an option but a prerequisite, the LogiLink FA05SD3 fully demonstrates its strengths.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: The IP68 certification offers maximum protection against dust and water, ideal for the harshest environments.
- Pro: The very low insertion loss of only 0.2 dB and the ceramic sleeve guarantee excellent signal quality for 10 GBit/s Networks.
- Pro: The Cable glands are suitable for various Cable diameters (1.0-3.5 mm) and ensure high compatibility and strain relief.
- Pro: The robust, screw-on design prevents accidental disconnection due to tension or vibration.
- Note: For simple indoor applications in a server rack, this connector is technically over-dimensioned and more expensive than standard couplers.
- Note: The connector is exclusively designed for fiber optic cables with SC-Duplex connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I also use the connector to waterproof my thin 2mm fiber optic cable?
Yes, absolutely! The connector is designed precisely for that. The cable glands are suitable for cable diameters from 1.0 mm to 3.5 mm. So, your 2mm Fiber Optic Cable will fit perfectly and be securely and waterproofly sealed.
Is the connector suitable for single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic cables?
The connector itself doesn't differentiate. While the green color of the coupler is a typical sign for single-mode cables with an APC polish, you can easily use it for both fiber types as long as you're using SC connectors. Ultimately, the performance depends on the Fiber Optic Cables you connect.
Do I need special tools to assemble the fiber optic connector?
No, not at all! You don't need any special fiber optic tools. Assembly is super easy: you just insert the Fiber Optic Cables and tighten the housing parts and cable glands by hand. No stress, no extra tools.
How high is the signal loss when I use this coupler?
Don't worry, the power loss, also known as insertion loss, is extremely low. LogiLink guarantees a maximum value of only 0.2 dB. You'll practically not notice this minimal loss in your Network.
Can I simply hang the connector outdoors between two cables, or do I have to screw it in?
You have the freedom to choose! You can easily use it for a 'flying' connection outdoors – thanks to IP68 protection, it's perfectly shielded from wind and weather. However, for a particularly neat and permanent installation, it's also prepared for fixed mounting on an Enclosure wall.
Can the housing withstand direct sunlight without becoming brittle?
The housing is made of robust Polyamide (PA66), which generally has good UV resistance. You're on the safe side for most outdoor applications. However, if you plan to expose it to direct sunlight unprotected for years, it's best to check the official datasheet for the long-term warranty.
