FC Simplex Coupler for Panel-Mount Fiber Patching
The Hirose HRFC-PA11-D1(40) is an FC simplex coupler from the HRFC series, designed as a female-to-female adapter for joining two FC-terminated fiber cables. Both adapter ends are FC receptacles, making this a straight-through bulkhead coupler for single-fiber simplex links. The panel-mount design with a square flange secures the coupler in a panel cutout, providing a fixed patch point for fiber distribution frames or equipment enclosures. The ferrule is zirconia — the standard material for FC connectors that maintains stable fiber alignment and low insertion loss over repeated mating cycles.
Last Buy — Plan Final Orders Now
For buyers with ongoing BOM positions, this is the time to secure lifetime-buy quantities or identify a permanent replacement. No official successor order code is listed for this part. The HRFC series includes other simplex couplers, but compatibility depends on the adapter-end configuration — this part is specific to FC-to-FC coupling.
Given the Last Buy status, procurement should initiate RFQs promptly to secure allocation before the final order cutoff.
