Duplex LC/LC Multimode Fiber Adapter, AD-LC/LC-DXM, LC duplex to LC duplex

Duplex LC/LC Multimode Fiber Adapter AD-LC/LC-DXM provides a compact, panel-mount compatible interface to connect two LC duplex multimode fiber connectors. Designed for use in racks, patch panels and chassis, the adapter aligns fiber ferrules to maintain low insertion loss and stable optical performance. It is intended for multimode links in data centers, telecom cabinets and local area networks where LC-to-LC mating is required.

Advantages

The adapter offers precise ferrule alignment in a compact housing that fits standard panel and chassis cutouts. Its duplex LC configuration enables simultaneous connection of two fiber channels in a single module, minimizing space usage. Constructed for repeatable mating cycles, it supports consistent insertion loss and return loss characteristics appropriate for multimode applications. The design facilitates quick installation and reliable mechanical retention of LC duplex connectors.

Suitable for

• Multimode fiber patching in data centers and server rooms
• Patch panels and rack-mounted chassis in telecom cabinets
• Local area network fiber links and horizontal cabling
• Fiber distribution frames and equipment-to-equipment connections

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC duplex to LC duplex
• Fiber type compatibility: Multimode
• Mounting: Panel / chassis mount compatible
• Number of channels: 2 (duplex)
• Housing: Compact module designed for standard cutouts
• Performance: Low insertion loss and controlled return loss for multimode links
• Durability: Designed for repeated mating cycles and secure connector retention

How to use

Install the adapter into the panel or chassis cutout designed for duplex fiber modules and secure it according to the panel manufacturer’s instructions. Insert LC duplex multimode connectors into each adapter port until they click into place, ensuring correct polarity and alignment of transmit and receive channels. When disconnecting, press the LC connector latch and pull straight out to avoid stress on the fiber. Verify optical continuity and signal levels after installation using appropriate test equipment.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible multimode LC connectors and maintain clean connector endfaces to minimize insertion loss and prevent signal degradation. Avoid excessive bending of connected fiber cables near the adapter and follow standard fiber handling practices. For critical links, test insertion loss and return loss after installation and perform periodic inspections to ensure long-term performance.
