Fibre optic adapter DELOCK LC female to LC female OM3 duplex (2 pcs)

DELOCK LC female to LC female OM3 duplex adapter (pack of 2) is designed to join two LC-terminated multimode optical fibres with OM3 performance. The compact LC duplex form factor provides a reliable physical connection between patch cords, transceivers or pre-terminated pigtails in data centres, telecom racks and LAN installations. Each adapter is supplied with a dust cap to protect the internal ceramic sleeve from contamination and to preserve optical performance when unused.

Advantages

The adapter offers a compact duplex LC interface that supports multimode OM3 transmission characteristics and ensures low insertion loss and repeatable mating performance. Durable housing and precisely aligned ceramic sleeves maintain stable optical alignment across repeated insertions. Supplied dust caps reduce the risk of contamination and make handling and storage safer during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting LC-terminated OM3 multimode patch cords in data centres and server rooms
• Extending or linking short-distance multimode fibre links in LAN and telecom equipment
• Simple mounting in fibre distribution panels, cabinets and splice boxes
• Temporary or permanent mating of LC transceivers and pigtails

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC female to LC female (duplex)
• Fibre type: Multimode OM3
• Number of pieces: 2 adapters per pack
• Sleeve material: precision ceramic sleeve for stable alignment
• Housing: compact LC duplex form factor suitable for rack and panel mounting
• Includes dust caps to protect the sleeve when not in use

How to use

Insert the LC-terminated patch cord ferrule into each side of the adapter until it clicks into place, ensuring the connector keys align with the adapter body. Use the dust cap to cover the exposed sleeve when the adapter is not in use. For installation in panels or boxes, push the adapter into the designated cutout or module until it seats securely; if required, secure the adapter according to the panel manufacturer’s instructions. Avoid touching the ceramic sleeve directly and clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating to maintain signal quality.

Recommendations

Store and handle the adapters with the dust caps fitted to prevent contamination. Before connecting, inspect and, if necessary, clean connector endfaces using lint-free wipes and approved fibre cleaning fluid or a dedicated fibre cleaning tool. Use these adapters within short-distance multimode OM3 links and in environments where LC duplex density and compact connections are required.
