Product overview
Violet LC OM4 Duplex Adapter for Panel Cross-Connections
This adapter creates a passive alignment point between two LC multimode connectors. The duplex high-low body presents two channels in an offset arrangement, while the ceramic sleeve aligns the connector ferrules inside patch panels, optical distribution frames, equipment faceplates and premise cabling cross-connects.
Network function
The adapter joins two LC multimode PC connectors without splicing or changing the fiber type. It can connect equipment-side OM4 patch cords to panel-side patch cords or pigtails at a serviceable passive interface in LAN, WAN, telecom, video-transmission, CATV and FTTx cabling paths.
Product-specific configuration
The standard configuration combines an LC interface, duplex high-low body, PC polish, multimode use, violet housing, ceramic alignment sleeve and mounting without a flange. Optical and mechanical criteria include ≤0.2 dB insertion loss, more than 1,000 mating cycles and RoHS-compliant status.
What the adapter does-and does not do
The LC OM4 DX High-Low Adapter mechanically aligns two compatible LC multimode connectors. It does not convert singlemode to multimode, change connector polish, increase fiber bandwidth or replace the need to clean and inspect connector end faces before final mating.
Product selling points
LC OM4 DX High-Low Adapter Features
Each feature below addresses a separate panel-layout, optical-performance, maintenance or procurement decision.
Duplex High-Low LC Geometry
The body combines two LC channels in a high-low arrangement instead of a simplex or high-high format. Matching this footprint to the panel drawing prevents a mechanically incorrect adapter from reaching assembly and lets panel builders maintain the intended duplex port layout.
≤0.2 dB Insertion Loss
Insertion loss is specified at no higher than 0.2 dB for the adapter. This gives designers a defined passive-connection value to review within the channel loss budget, while the RFQ should state the test method, reference cords and acceptance record required for the finished order.
Ceramic Alignment Sleeve
A ceramic sleeve centers the two mating LC ferrules inside each adapter channel. Compared with treating the coupler as a color-only accessory, specifying the sleeve material gives procurement and incoming inspection a concrete component to verify in repeated panel builds.
>1,000-Mating-Cycle Durability
The adapter supports more than 1,000 mating cycles, with optical change after 1,000 insertions below 0.2 dB. That durability criterion is relevant to patching fields and test points where links are disconnected during moves, adds, equipment replacement or troubleshooting.
Violet OM4 Port Identification
The violet housing distinguishes this OM4-designated adapter from the aqua OM3, beige general-multimode and blue or green singlemode variants listed in adjacent adapter families. A consistent color schedule helps technicians trace the intended cabling category in mixed patch panels.
Flange-Free Panel Mounting
The housing is specified without a flange and operates from −40°C to +85°C. The low-profile mounting format suits compatible panel openings where front flanges are not required; buyers should submit the panel cutout and retention details for fit confirmation.
Product configuration
Standard LC OM4 Adapter Configuration and Related Choices
The standard product is a violet OM4 multimode duplex high-low configuration. Other body styles, colors, polish types and fiber modes are separate adapter products and should not be substituted without checking the panel and cabling specification.
Adapter Family Selection Table
| Separate Product | Body Style | Polish | Fiber Mode / Designation | Housing Color | Use When |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LC OM4 DX High-Low Adapter | Duplex high-low | PC | Multimode / OM4 | Violet | The BOM and panel drawing call for the OM4 high-low duplex version. |
| LC OM3 DX High-Low Adapter | Duplex high-low | PC | Multimode / OM3 | Aqua | The patching field is identified and documented as OM3. |
| LC MM DX High-Low Adapter | Duplex high-low | PC | Multimode | Beige | The project uses the standard multimode version rather than an OM3/OM4 color designation. |
| LC OM4 SX Adapter Without Flange | Simplex | PC | Multimode / OM4 | Confirm on RFQ | Only one LC channel is required and the panel opening is for a simplex adapter. |
Related products use different fiber, polish, color or body configurations. Do not substitute them without confirming the panel and cabling BOM.

| Storage temperature | −40°C to +85°C | Maintain the packed product within this storage range. |
| RoHS status | Compliant | Request the applicable order document if the project requires compliance evidence. |
Optical Specifications
| Optical Item | Specification | Acceptance Note |
|---|---|---|
| Insertion loss | ≤0.2 dB | Define the test wavelength, reference cords, measurement direction, sampling level and report format when a batch acceptance record is required. |
| Interchangeability loss | ≤0.2 dB | Define the mating sequence, connector set and calculation method before using this value as a batch acceptance criterion. |

Application scenarios
LC OM4 DX High-Low Adapter Applications and Cabling Solutions
This adapter is intended for serviceable LC duplex multimode connection points where the OM4 designation, high-low panel footprint and optical acceptance values must remain controlled.
LC OM4 Duplex High-Low Adapter for Data Center Patching
Ordering only by "LC duplex" can put a high-high or standard body into a panel designed for a high-low opening. This violet OM4 adapter combines two LC multimode PC channels, a ceramic alignment sleeve and ≤0.2 dB insertion loss at the passive cross-connect between equipment patch cords and the panel-side link. Use it in compatible data center patch panels or ODF trays with LC OM4 assemblies. Before procurement, confirm the panel cutout, polarity, patch-cord boot clearance, port-color schedule, test-record requirement and whether the selected panel retains a flange-free body.
Enterprise LAN and Campus Backbone Cross-Connects
Mixed OM3, OM4 and singlemode fields can produce wrong patching when adapter color and fiber category are not controlled in the BOM. The violet housing identifies this OM4-designated multimode version, while the duplex high-low geometry keeps the paired LC interface in one panel position. Install it at the building distributor, floor distributor, campus cross-connect or equipment-room faceplate between LC OM4 patch cords and pigtails. Confirm PC polish, port numbering, panel footprint, cable polarity, cleaning procedure and whether the −40°C to +85°C working range covers the specified equipment-room conditions.
OEM Patch Panel and ODF Assembly
Panel assemblers risk rework when they approve the connector type but omit the adapter body geometry and retention format. This product specifies LC duplex high-low construction, mounting without a flange, a violet housing and a ceramic sleeve, giving the OEM BOM separate fields for interface, footprint, color and alignment material. It is installed in the adapter plate of a rack panel, wall enclosure or ODF tray and mated to LC multimode pigtails and patch cords. Before batch production, approve the cutout drawing, plate thickness, retention detail, orientation, rear clearance, labels, packing arrangement and inspection sample.
Serviceable Multimode Device and Video Links
A direct patch-cord join or incorrectly selected singlemode adapter can complicate maintenance at a device interconnection point. The LC OM4 DX High-Low Adapter provides a removable duplex multimode PC interface with durability above 1,000 mating cycles, making it relevant where equipment or test leads are periodically replaced. Position it in a compatible premise panel, device faceplate, video-transmission rack, localized WAN room, CATV cabinet or FTTx indoor cross-connect. Confirm that both mating assemblies are LC multimode, then define polish, polarity, fiber category, panel opening, environmental conditions and the required optical acceptance method.
