Cable Gender Changer VALUE 21.99.0664 2x LC Green

The VALUE 21.99.0664 Cable Gender Changer provides a compact adapter with two green LC connectors designed to link LC-terminated fiber optic cables. It enables a direct connection between two LC plugs of compatible fiber assemblies without modifying cable ends or using additional equipment, facilitating straightforward fiber patching and short extension tasks in network cabinets and patch panels.

Advantages

This gender changer presents a low-profile, space-saving solution with standardized LC interfaces that preserve signal integrity and minimize insertion loss when used within specified fiber network parameters. The green color coding simplifies identification for multi-mode or APC-compatible runs where color differentiation is required. Constructed for stable mechanical alignment, the adapter supports repeated mate/unmate cycles and helps maintain organized cabling in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting two LC-terminated fiber optic patch cords
• Temporary fiber extensions in data centers and server rooms
• Patching within fiber distribution panels and wall outlets
• Testing or reconfiguring optical links during maintenance

Key specifications

• Connector type: dual LC female interfaces
• Color: green for easy identification
• Form factor: compact inline gender changer
• Material: durable polymer housing with precision ceramic ferrules
• Compatibility: suitable for LC fiber optic cables of matching ferrule type

How to use

Align each LC plug with the corresponding female port on the adapter and push in until the latch engages to ensure a secure connection. To disconnect, depress the LC latch and gently withdraw the plug. Use only compatible LC-terminated cables and avoid applying excessive force; ensure ferrule endfaces are clean before mating to reduce signal loss and prevent contamination. Handle the adapter by its body rather than the connector ends to preserve alignment.

Usage recommendations

Inspect and, if necessary, clean fiber endfaces with appropriate cleaning tools before connection. Store with protective dust caps when unused and avoid bending or twisting connected fiber cables near the adapter to maintain optical performance.
