DELOCK Panel Mount LC Duplex adapter BU>BU, metal bezel silver, shutters violet/white

The DELOCK Panel Mount LC Duplex adapter BU>BU is a compact panel-face connector designed to provide a reliable LC female-to-female duplex termination. Housed in a metal silver bezel with integrated shutters in violet/white, this adapter is intended for installation in patch panels or enclosures where a neat, durable LC duplex panel feed-through is required. It supports common single-mode and multimode LC duplex patching scenarios by aligning two LC duplex ferrules in a panel-mount form factor.

Advantages

This metal-bezel LC Duplex adapter offers mechanical stability and a secure panel fit while the built-in shutters help to limit dust ingress when ports are not in use. The duplex BU>BU configuration allows direct female-to-female termination for LC duplex patch cords, and the compact design maintains a low profile on standard panels. The combination of a metal silver bezel with violet/white shutters provides a clear visual cue for port identification without compromising durability.

Suitable for

• Panel or patch panel termination of LC duplex fiber connections
• Wallboxes and network enclosures requiring LC duplex feed-through
• Single-mode and multimode LC duplex patching where female-to-female adapters are needed
• Environments where dust protection and clear port identification are beneficial

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is intended for LC duplex female-to-female terminations and is not suitable where angled-polish (APC) alignment or hybrid connector types are required unless explicitly matched to the same polishing type and polarity. It does not provide active signal conditioning or coupling; for specialty optical functions such as attenuation, wavelength multiplexing or signal conversion, dedicated components are necessary.

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC Duplex (female to female)
• Mount style: Panel / faceplate mount with metal bezel
• Bezel material and color: Metal, silver finish
• Shutter color: Violet/white
• Application: Single-mode and multimode duplex patching
• Protection: Integrated dust shutters for unused ports
• Form factor: Duplex, low-profile panel adapter

How to use

Install the adapter into the designated panel cutout or faceplate opening and secure it according to the panel or enclosure mounting method. Once fixed, insert LC duplex patch cords into the adapter’s female ports, ensuring correct alignment and matching polishing type (e.g., UPC or APC) and polarity for your network. When ports are not used, keep the shutters closed to reduce dust ingress. Periodically inspect and, if necessary, clean fiber endfaces and shutters using appropriate fiber-cleaning tools before reconnecting.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm connector polishing type and polarity compatibility with existing patch cords and hardware
• Verify panel cutout dimensions and mounting style match the adapter bezel
• Consider whether metal bezel and shutter colors meet your rack or lab identification scheme
• Ensure the adapter type (female-to-female LC duplex) fits the intended cabling topology

Usage recommendations

Use this DELOCK LC Duplex panel adapter as a passive, reliable feed-through on patch panels and enclosures. Match polishing types and polarity, keep shutters closed when idle, and perform routine inspection and cleaning of fiber endfaces to maintain optimal optical performance.
