Fibre optic adapter DELOCK LC female to LC female duplex, blue, pack of 2

DELOCK 86538 is a fibre optic LC female to LC female duplex adapter in blue finish designed to join two LC male fibre optic connectors, restoring signal continuity in multimode or singlemode installations. Supplied as a pack of two in a polybag, this duplex adapter is suitable for in-line extensions, patch panels and fibre patch cords where LC-to-LC connections are required.

Advantages

The adapter provides precise alignment of LC ferrules for low insertion loss and consistent optical performance. Its duplex design supports two independent channels in a compact housing, saving space in dense patching environments. The blue housing indicates compatibility with commonly used fibre types and helps with visual identification during installation and maintenance. Supplied as a pair, it offers quick replacement or simultaneous installation for redundant or paired links.

Suitable for

• Joining two LC-terminated fibre optic cables
• Extending fibre runs in patch panels and wall outlets
• Temporary in-line extensions during installation or testing
• Use in multimode or singlemode LC network segments where LC duplex connections are required

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC female to LC female, duplex
• Color: blue
• Number of adapters: 2 pieces per pack
• Form factor: duplex housing for two channels
• Compatibility: for LC male fibre optic connectors (multimode or singlemode)

How to use

Remove protective dust caps from the LC connectors and adapter before connecting. Align each LC male connector with the corresponding port on the duplex adapter and push until the connector latches or seats. Verify optical continuity and signal quality after installation using appropriate test equipment. When not in use, replace dust caps to protect ferrules from contamination.

Recommendations

Handle fibre connectors and adapters with clean hands and avoid touching ferrules. Use lint-free wipes and approved cleaning solutions to remove dust and oil before mating. Keep the blue adapter housing visible to simplify identification of LC links during maintenance and document connections in network diagrams.
