Panduit FASSCZLM-L OM5 Sc Simplex Fiber Adapter

Product Description

The PANDUIT FASSCZLM-L is an OM5 SC simplex fiber optic adapter finished in lime color for quick visual identification of OM5 wideband multimode fiber pathways. The adapter mates two SC simplex connectors, providing a low-loss optical interface in structured cabling systems. Its lime color coding aligns with TIA-568 color conventions for OM5 fiber, reducing the risk of cross-connection errors in dense patch environments. Fiber optic technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this adapter in fiber panels, enclosures, and wall plates as part of permanent horizontal or backbone cabling infrastructure.

This adapter is suited for use in data centers, enterprise LAN installations, and campus backbone applications where OM5 wideband multimode fiber is deployed. It is installed in adapter plates, splice enclosures, rack-mounted patch panels, and surface-mount housings to terminate SC simplex jumpers. The lime finish allows fast visual sorting when multiple fiber types terminate in the same enclosure. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for new installations or retrofit upgrades to OM5-capable fiber plant.

Key Features

• OM5 wideband multimode designation supports short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) applications
• SC simplex form factor mates standard SC connectors on both ends
• Lime color coding provides visual identification per OM5 fiber type conventions
• Single-unit packaging allows procurement in exact quantities needed
• Designed for use in fiber panels, enclosures, adapter plates, and wall-mount housings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation adapter compatible with SC simplex fiber optic panels, enclosures, and adapter plate systems that accept standard SC duplex or simplex adapter footprints.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician familiar with fiber optic termination practices and applicable codes such as ANSI/TIA-568. Clean all mating ferrules and the adapter sleeve before insertion to prevent insertion loss and back-reflection issues. Do not overtighten any mounting hardware securing the adapter plate, as excessive force can crack the adapter housing.
