Fiber optic adapter DELOCK LC female–female OM3 duplex (pack of 2)

DELOCK LC female–female OM3 duplex adapter (pack of 2) is a duplex LC coupling designed for OM3 multimode optical fiber. Supplied as two identical LC female-to-female adapters in a polybag, this coupling connects LC-terminated multimode fibre cables to extend channels or join cable runs in data, network and telecommunication installations where OM3 performance is required. The compact design allows straightforward installation in fiber distribution boxes, cabinets and patch panels. Each adapter includes a removable dust cap to protect the ferrule sleeve and keep the connection clean when not in use.

Advantages

The adapter offers reliable duplex connectivity for LC-terminated OM3 multimode cables without requiring fusion splicing or permanent termination, enabling quick reconfiguration of fiber runs. Its standardized LC female interface provides broad compatibility with common LC connectors, while the dust cover protects the internal sleeve from contamination during storage and installation. The small form factor and straightforward mounting make it suitable for dense patching environments and space-constrained panels.

Suitable for

• Extending or joining OM3 multimode LC fiber cables in data centers and telecom closets
• Patching and temporary connections during installation or testing
• Use in fiber distribution boxes, cabinets and patch panels
• Laboratory or field environments where quick connector mating is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC female – LC female (duplex)
• Fiber type: OM3 multimode
• Number of pieces: pack of 2
• Polish type: typically UPC-style sleeve interface for multimode (compatible with standard LC ferrules)
• Housing: compact duplex coupling suitable for standard fiber panels and boxes
• Protective cap: included dust cover for sleeve protection

How to use

Inspect the adapter and included dust caps before installation to ensure cleanliness. Remove the dust caps from both adapter ports and from the LC connectors to be joined. Align the LC male connectors with the adapter ports and push gently until the connectors click into place, ensuring a secure duplex connection. For disconnection, depress the LC connector latch and pull the connector straight out. Replace dust caps on unused ports or on the adapter after removal to protect the sleeve from contamination.

Recommendations

Handle fiber connectors and adapters with clean hands and, if available, use lint-free wipes and isopropyl alcohol to clean ferrules before mating. Avoid bending the fiber cable near the adapter beyond the recommended bend radius for OM3 multimode cables. Store the adapter with dust caps fitted when not in use to maintain optical performance and reduce signal loss caused by contamination.
