Leviton Telcom 41086-LLR Duplex Lc Fiber Adapter OM3 OM4

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 41086-LLR is a duplex LC shuttered fiber optic adapter designed for use with OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber connections. The adapter mates two LC duplex fiber connectors and includes an integrated shutter mechanism that closes when no connector is inserted, protecting the ferrule alignment sleeve from dust and debris. This type of adapter is a standard hardware accessory found in structured cabling panels, fiber enclosures, and patch panels. It is typically installed by low-voltage cabling technicians and network infrastructure specialists working in both commercial and enterprise environments.

This adapter is suited for high-density fiber installations where OM3 or OM4 multimode cabling is deployed. Common install scenarios include data centers, server rooms, telecommunications rooms, and building backbone cabling runs. The shuttered design makes it a practical choice for active environments where ports may remain unplugged for periods of time, reducing contamination risk to fiber end-faces.

Key Features

• Duplex LC form factor accommodates two fiber strands in a single adapter footprint
• Shuttered design protects alignment sleeve when port is not in use
• Compatible with OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber connectors
• Standard hardware accessory suitable for panel and enclosure mounting
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fiber optic adapter for use in LC duplex port positions within fiber patch panels, enclosures, and wall-plate housings that accept standard LC duplex adapter footprints with OM3 or OM4 multimode fiber systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians install LC fiber adapters as part of structured cabling infrastructure work. Before servicing any fiber panel or enclosure, follow proper laser safety procedures and ensure no active optical transceivers are transmitting on connected fibers. Clean fiber end-faces with approved fiber cleaning tools before mating connectors. Reference TIA-568 and TIA-942 standards for structured cabling and data center fiber installation guidelines.
