Adaptér na optické vlákno METZ CONNECT 1402L00820MI LC/SM modrý biely keramika

The METZ CONNECT 1402L00820MI LC/SM fibre optic adapter provides a compact coupling solution for single-mode LC connectors. Constructed with a ceramic ferrule, the adapter maintains precise alignment between mating fibres to ensure consistent optical performance. Its blue and white colour coding assists visual identification in multi-connector panels and cabling assemblies, while the small footprint (15.6 mm × 30.9 mm × 13.2 mm) allows installation in confined spaces and standard patch panels.

Advantages

Durable ceramic ferrule construction offers low insertion loss and long-term stability. Colour-coded LC/SM interface supports clear identification and reduces connection errors during setup and maintenance. The compact dimensions and standardized LC form factor enable flexible placement in both rack-mounted and wall-mounted enclosures. The adapter is designed for consistent mechanical alignment to support repeatable connections and reliable signal transmission.

Suitable for

• Single-mode fibre patch panels and distribution frames
• Telecommunications and enterprise network links
• Fiber optic testing and lab environments where LC connectors are used
• Repair, upgrade or extension of existing LC-based fibre runs

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC to LC (single-mode)
• Fibre type: single-mode (SM)
• Ferrule material: ceramic
• Colour coding: blue and white
• Dimensions (W × D × H): 15.6 mm × 30.9 mm × 13.2 mm
• Form factor: compact adapter suitable for panel mounting

How to use

Install the adapter into the designated cutout or mounting slot of a patch panel or housing, ensuring the orientation matches the panel layout. Insert LC-terminated single-mode connectors into each side of the adapter until they click or seat fully, verifying secure mechanical engagement. When disconnecting, gently depress the connector latch and withdraw the connector in a straight line to avoid bending the fibre. Keep dust caps in place when the adapter is not in use and follow standard fibre handling procedures to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

Before making connections, inspect connector endfaces and the adapter bore for contamination and clean with approved fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Use compatible single-mode LC connectors and avoid excessive lateral force during insertion. For demanding installations, verify insertion loss and return loss with an optical power meter or OTDR after installation.
