To accommodate the need for increased fiber quantities in high-density applications, Molex has added the Quad LC Adapter to its small-form factor product family. This four-position LC adapter solution provides multiple connection options from a single adapter, offering a robust solution for high-density applications such as hubs, servers, routers, and other telecommunications equipment; optical DVI; storage and Local Area Networks (LAN).
Available in either snap-mount or screw-mount installation styles, the Quad LC Adapter allows for installation flexibility while providing increased density over using multiple simplex or duplex LC adapters.
The adapter also features optional individual shutters on the user side, to help provide an eye-safety option for protection even when the adapter is not fully populated. The adapter is offered with either Phosphor Bronze or Zirconia Ceramic alignment sleeves to accommodate single mode, multimode or Angle Polish Connectors (APC).
Connection options for the Quad LC Adapter include four simplex LC connectors, two simplex and one duplex LC connector, or two duplex LC connectors. Mounting dimensions are identical to the duplex SC adapter and can be used as a direct drop-in replacement for density upgrade.
