Signamax Inc. FA-LC-DX-ZR-MF-BU Lc Duplex Fiber Optic Adapter

Product Description

The SIGNAMAX INC. FA-LC-DX-ZR-MF-BU is an LC duplex fiber optic adapter featuring a zirconia ceramic sleeve and blue housing. Zirconia sleeves are the standard choice for single-mode fiber terminations, providing the precise alignment needed to minimize insertion loss and maintain signal integrity across the connection. This adapter serves as a bulkhead coupler, joining two LC-terminated fiber patch cables in a fiber distribution panel, wall plate, or enclosure. It is installed by network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors working on structured cabling and fiber optic distribution systems.

This adapter is suited for use in fiber optic hardware and connectivity installations, including telecommunications rooms, server rooms, and data center fiber distribution panels. The duplex configuration supports two fibers in a single adapter footprint, making it a common choice where parallel transmit and receive paths are required. The blue color designation follows industry convention, indicating compatibility with single-mode fiber applications.

Key Features

• LC duplex form factor supports two fiber connections in one adapter body
• Zirconia ceramic sleeve provides precise ferrule alignment for low insertion loss
• Blue housing indicates single-mode fiber application per standard color convention
• Bulkhead design suitable for panel, enclosure, and wall-plate mounting
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard installation component for LC duplex fiber optic adapter positions in fiber distribution panels, patch enclosures, and structured cabling hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure specialists. Ensure fiber end-faces are clean and inspect with a fiber inspection scope before mating connectors to avoid contamination of the zirconia sleeve. Do not force LC connectors into the adapter; the latch mechanism should click into place with light, even pressure. Follow applicable TIA-568 structured cabling standards for fiber optic termination and labeling practices.
