Fiber optic SC/SC duplex adapter, electro base AD-SC/SC-DXOM3, OM3 multimode

Electro base AD-SC/SC-DXOM3 is a duplex SC/SC fiber optic adapter designed for OM3 multimode fiber. It connects two SC connectors in a duplex arrangement, providing accurate alignment and stable mating for multimode links. The adapter is suitable for use in patch panels, wall plates and fiber distribution frames, offering a compact footprint and straightforward installation in datacenter and local area network (LAN) environments.

Advantages

The adapter ensures precise ferrule alignment for low insertion loss and consistent optical performance in OM3 multimode systems. Its duplex SC form factor supports two independent channels while occupying a single adapter slot, which helps conserve panel space. The construction is robust enough for repeated connector insertions and removals, and the housing design facilitates fast, tool-free mounting into standard panel cutouts. The product’s compatibility with common SC connectors simplifies integration into existing cabling infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Datacenter patch panels and fiber distribution frames
• Wall plates and in‑room fiber outlets
• LAN backbone and horizontal multimode links using OM3 fiber
• Equipment interconnects requiring duplex SC terminations

Key specifications

• Connector type: Duplex SC to SC
• Fiber type: OM3 multimode
• Polish/Endface: multimode ferrule alignment suitable for standard SC connectors
• Body material: durable polymer housing for panel mounting
• Mounting: snap-in or clip-in compatible with standard adapter panels and plates
• Channels: two independent optical channels in a single duplex adapter
• Typical application: indoor data and telecom optical links

How to use

Insert the adapter into the designated cutout on a patch panel, wall plate or distribution frame until it seats securely. Align and insert SC connectors from each cable into the two adapter ports until they click into place; ensure connectors are clean and free of dust before mating to maintain optical performance. To disconnect, depress the SC connector latch and withdraw each connector straight out to avoid damaging ferrules. For installations with preterminated pigtails or patch cords, verify polarity and channel mapping before finalizing connections.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate fiber cleaning tools prior to mating and follow established contamination control procedures. For best results in OM3 multimode networks, verify connector cleanliness and perform optical loss testing after installation to confirm acceptable insertion loss and link performance.
