Fibre optic adapter DELOCK LC Female–Female OM3 duplex (2 pcs)

The DELOCK LC Female–Female OM3 duplex adapter set includes two LC duplex couplers designed for multimode OM3 fibre optics. Each adapter provides a female-to-female connection that aligns two LC-terminated fibre cables with low insertion loss and stable mechanical coupling. Supplied as a pair in a polybag, these compact LC adapters are intended for use in patch panels, fibre distribution boxes, cabinets and rack-mounted installations where short-range high-speed multimode links are required.

Advantages

These LC duplex adapters offer precise mechanical alignment for LC connectors, helping to minimise signal loss and maintain link performance in multimode OM3 networks. The compact duplex format saves space in dense patching environments, and the included dust caps protect the ceramic sleeves from contamination when not in use. The adapters are ready to install for straightforward coupling of two LC-terminated fibre cables without additional tooling.

Suitable for

• Connecting two LC-terminated OM3 multimode fibre cables
• Patch panels and fibre distribution frames in data centres
• Telecom racks and cabinet installations
• Short-range high-speed multimode links (intra-building)

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC female to LC female (duplex)
• Fibre type compatibility: Multimode OM3
• Quantity: 2 adapters per set
• Format: Duplex coupling
• Protection: Dust covers included for each adapter
• Intended use: Inline coupling for patching and panel installations

How to use

Insert the LC-terminated ferrule of each fibre cable into the corresponding adapter port until it seats securely; duplex orientation must match the transmit/receive pair if applicable. Ensure dust caps are removed before insertion and inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness to avoid contamination. When disconnecting, gently pull the connector body straight out to avoid stressing the fibre. Store or replace the dust caps on unused ports to maintain sleeve protection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, clean connector endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools before mating and avoid excessive bending of multimode OM3 cables near the coupling. Use the included dust caps to protect unused adapter ports when performing maintenance or reconfigurations.
