Fibre Optic Adapter LC quadruple VALUE 21.99.0662

The VALUE Fibre Optic Adapter LC quadruple is a compact, durable coupling for single‑mode fiber connections. Designed for efficient space use in racks and patch panels, it provides reliable optical linking for data center and telecommunications environments. The adapter is housed in blue high‑quality plastic and uses zirconium guide sleeves for precise ferrule alignment and low insertion loss.

Advantages

The quad LC design allows four LC duplex connections in the footprint of two duplex SC ports, saving panel space while maintaining separate channels. Zirconium guide sleeves improve alignment accuracy and reduce wear on ferrules, and the plastic housing offers a balance of durability and cost effectiveness. The adapter is suitable for OS2 single‑mode fiber and is intended for straightforward installation or extension of existing fiber runs.

Suitable for

• Single‑mode (OS2) fiber patch panels and rack installations
• Data centers and telecommunications distribution cabinets
• Extending or joining single‑mode fiber runs
• Environments where space‑saving front panel cutouts are needed

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is intended specifically for single‑mode fibers and is not designed for multimode cable systems. It also does not include hybrid or angled physical contact variants; if your installation requires APC connectors or multimode compatibility, this product will not meet those requirements.

Key specifications

• Connector type: 4x LC to 4x LC (quad LC coupling)
• Compatible fiber type: single‑mode (OS2)
• Guide sleeve material: zirconium
• Housing material: high‑quality plastic (blue)
• Mounting: fits front panel cutouts designed for duplex SC

How to use

Insert the adapter into a compatible front panel cutout, ensuring the quad LC alignment matches the panel opening. Clean fiber end‑faces before mating to minimize insertion loss. Plug LC connectors into the adapter until they click into place; ensure each connector is fully seated. For removal, depress the LC connector latch and withdraw straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule alignment.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your network uses single‑mode (OS2) LC connectors, not multimode or APC types
• Verify panel cutout compatibility (fits front panel openings for duplex SC)
• Ensure required number of channels and patching density match the quad LC layout

Usage recommendations

For best performance, always clean connector end‑faces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before insertion and avoid excessive bending near the adapter. Use in environments with controlled mechanical stress and follow standard optical loss testing after installation.
