METZ BTR 15090079-I OpDAT Q-LC MM Ceramic OM4 Erika Violet Quad LC Coupler

With a typical insertion loss under 0.2 dB and a return loss exceeding 30 dB, this METZ OpDAT Q-LC quad adapter delivers exceptional signal integrity for high-speed multimode networks. The OM4 fiber compatibility supports 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet links up to 150 meters, making it a future-proof choice for data centers, enterprise LANs, and storage area networks.

Overview

The METZ BTR 15090079-I is a panel-mount, snap-in fiber optic coupler featuring four LC duplex connections in a single compact housing. Both sides accept LC connectors, and the precision ceramic ferrules and sleeves ensure low loss and high durability. The adapter is color-coded in Erika Violet (RAL 4003) for instant identification of OM4 multimode infrastructure, in line with industry standards. Dust caps are included to protect the ferrule end faces when ports are not in use.

What stands out

• Quad LC design: four ports in one unit, maximizing density in patch panels and faceplates.
• Ceramic alignment sleeves: superior wear resistance and consistent performance over 500+ mating cycles.
• OM4 optimized: supports laser-optimized multimode fiber for 10G, 40G, and 100G applications.
• Erika Violet housing: quick visual identification and compliance with TIA-598 color coding.
• Flame-retardant plastic: UL 94 V-0 rating for enhanced safety in structured cabling.
