Leviton Telcom 41086-SLI OS2 Duplex Lc Shutter Adapter

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 41086-SLI is an OS2 duplex LC shutter adapter designed for single-mode fiber optic network installations. This adapter accepts duplex LC connectors and incorporates a shutter mechanism that closes automatically when no connector is inserted, protecting the ferrule alignment sleeves from dust and debris. The blue color coding identifies this as an OS2 single-mode component, consistent with TIA-568 color-coding standards. It is typically installed by low-voltage technicians, structured cabling contractors, and network infrastructure professionals during fiber distribution panel and wall-plate termination work.

This adapter is suited for single-mode fiber optic cabling systems in commercial and enterprise environments. Common installation scenarios include patch panels, fiber distribution units, outlet boxes, and enclosures where duplex LC connectivity is required. The shutter feature makes it appropriate for high-traffic or dusty environments where open adapter ports would otherwise require dust caps for port protection.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode duplex LC adapter with integrated shutter mechanism
• Blue color coding identifies single-mode OS2 classification per TIA-568 standards
• Shutter closes automatically when connector is removed, protecting internal sleeves
• Duplex configuration supports two fiber connections in a single adapter footprint
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or infrastructure component compatible with duplex LC fiber optic patching systems using OS2 single-mode fiber.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technicians following ANSI/TIA-568 fiber optic cabling standards. Ensure the panel or enclosure is de-energized and all active fiber links are properly documented before inserting or removing adapters. Use appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools on ferrules and connector end-faces prior to mating. Avoid touching ferrule end-faces to prevent contamination that can cause signal loss.
