Duplex LC/LC Fiber Optic Adapter electro base AD-LC/LC-DOM3 OM3, duplex, OM3 multimode

Duplex LC/LC fiber optic adapter electro base AD-LC/LC-DOM3 OM3 provides a precise mechanical interface for connecting two LC multimode OM3 fiber connectors in duplex configurations. Designed for panel or chassis mounting, this adapter aligns LC ferrules to ensure stable optical coupling with low insertion loss and controlled return loss, suitable for local area networks and data center links that require OM3 multimode performance.

Advantages

This duplex LC/LC adapter is engineered to maintain accurate ferrule alignment for reliable duplex transmission. Its OM3 multimode compatibility supports higher bandwidth over multimode fiber links, while the robust housing permits secure installation in standard panels or chassis. The adapter minimizes signal degradation by keeping consistent connection geometry, reducing the need for frequent adjustments and helping maintain network uptime.

Suitable for

• Duplex multimode fiber connections in data centers
• Panel and chassis mounting in telecommunications racks
• Local area network backbone and horizontal cabling
• Patch panels and fiber distribution frames

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC duplex to LC duplex
• Fiber class: Multimode OM3
• Configuration: Duplex
• Mounting: Panel / chassis compatible
• Material: Durable plastic housing with precision ceramic/alignment sleeve (where applicable)
• Typical performance: Low insertion loss and low return loss consistent with OM3 multimode connections

How to use

Install the adapter into the designated panel or chassis port by aligning the adapter body with the mounting aperture until it clicks or secures into place. Insert LC multimode OM3 connectors into each adapter port, ensuring the connector latches engage and the ferrules seat fully into the alignment sleeve. Verify optical continuity and signal levels using appropriate testing equipment after installation. For removal, depress the connector latch and gently withdraw the connector to avoid damage to the ferrule or sleeve.

Usage recommendations

Keep connector end-faces clean and free of dust by using approved fiber cleaning tools before mating. Use dust caps on unused adapter ports and avoid excessive bending of multimode fiber near the connection to preserve OM3 performance. Perform insertion loss testing after installation to confirm compliance with link budget requirements.
