Optical Fiber Adapter Plates

OVERVIEW

Specify optical fiber adapter plates for ST-, FC-, SC-, MT-RJ- or LC-type connections. Adapter plates are compatible with all Signamax wall and rack mount optical fiber enclosures and available in 6 simplex and duplex, 8 simplex and duplex and 6 quad configurations with fiber counts of up to 24 per adapter plate. They mount easily by means of plunger locks ("pushpins"). ST, FC, SC and LC connec-tor plates can be equipped with 62.5-µm and 50-µm adapters suitable for multimode applications or a singlemode only version is available with adapters outfitted with zirconia ceramic sleeves. Our SC and LC 10G multimode laser optimized adapter uses zirconia ceramic sleeves.
