Leviton Telcom 41086-SLY OS2 Duplex Lc Adapter

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 41086-SLY is a QuickPort OS2 duplex LC shuttered adapter in blue. This fiber optic adapter accepts two LC-style connectors in a side-by-side duplex configuration and is rated for OS2 single-mode fiber. The integrated shutter mechanism protects the ferrule alignment sleeves from dust and debris when the ports are unmated, helping maintain signal integrity over the life of the connection. It is sold as a single unit and is installed by low-voltage cabling technicians and data communications professionals.

This adapter is suited for structured cabling installations where OS2 single-mode fiber is deployed, including commercial building backbones, data centers, and telecommunications rooms. The blue color coding follows standard industry convention for single-mode fiber, allowing technicians to quickly identify port type during installation and maintenance. It fits into compatible QuickPort snap-in faceplates, patch panels, and surface-mount boxes.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber rating for long-distance, low-attenuation runs
• Duplex LC configuration supports two fiber strands in a single adapter footprint
• Integrated shutter protects alignment sleeves when ports are unmated
• Blue color coding identifies single-mode fiber type per industry convention
• QuickPort snap-in form factor for use with compatible faceplates and patch panels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style QuickPort snap-in replacement or addition for compatible LEVITON TELCOM QuickPort faceplates, patch panels, and surface-mount enclosures that accept standard snap-in fiber adapter modules.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Before servicing an active fiber link, confirm that laser sources are powered down, as OS2 single-mode systems may use invisible infrared laser light hazardous to eyes. Snap the adapter firmly into the QuickPort opening until it seats and latches. Inspect ferrule end faces and clean per TIA-568 procedures before mating connectors.
