Cable gender changer VALUE 21.99.0663 — 2x LC to 2x LC, blue

VALUE 21.99.0663 is a blue cable gender changer with two LC connectors on each side, designed for duplex fiber patching and short-range interconnections. It enables connection between LC-terminated duplex fiber cables or changes connector gender without modifying existing cabling. The compact inline adapter fits into network cabinets, patch panels and test setups, offering a straightforward solution for temporary or permanent fiber link extensions and reconfigurations.

Advantages

The adapter provides a compact, low-profile connection that preserves fiber alignment and minimizes insertion loss when used within its intended short-range applications. Its duplex LC-to-LC configuration supports quick mating of LC-terminated cables and simplifies patching tasks in crowded panels. The blue color aids visual identification in mixed-cable environments and the robust housing ensures stable mechanical contact between connectors.

Suitable for

• Patching duplex LC fiber cables in network cabinets and server rooms
• Temporary connections during testing and commissioning of fiber links
• Short-range interconnections within patch panels and distribution frames
• Connecting LC-terminated transceivers to pre-terminated patch leads

Key specifications

• Connector type: Duplex LC on both ends (2x LC to 2x LC)
• Color: Blue for easy identification
• Application: Single-mode and multimode fiber systems where LC duplex connectivity is used (confirm fiber type before use)
• Form factor: Inline gender changer for duplex patching
• Typical use distance: Short-range within cabinets and patch panels

How to use

Align the duplex LC connectors of the gender changer with the LC-terminated patch cable or transceiver port, ensuring correct orientation of the duplex clip. Gently push until the connectors engage with an audible click, taking care to avoid excessive bending of the fiber. For removal, press the duplex latch and pull straight to disengage. Inspect connector endfaces before mating to avoid contamination; use appropriate cleaning tools when necessary.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter for short-term or permanent patching within racks and panels; avoid using it as part of long-span fiber links. Keep connector endfaces clean and capped when not in use. Verify compatibility with the fiber type and transceiver optical specifications to maintain expected link performance.
