ACT glasvezel SC-SC duplex-adapter multimode OM5

The ACT Fiber optic SC-SC duplex adapter OM5 is a single-piece connector designed for multimode OM5 fiber networks. It provides a reliable SC-to-SC duplex coupling in a distinctive lime green color, matching OM5 fiber color coding. The adapter supports multimode fiber mode structure and is intended for use in data communications environments where OM5 performance and compatibility are required.

Advantages

This SC-SC duplex adapter offers low insertion loss and consistent optical alignment between SC connectors, supporting stable multimode transmission. The lime green color provides clear visual identification for OM5 channels, simplifying installation and maintenance. The single-piece packaging is suitable for small deployments or replacement needs, while the mechanical design ensures secure mating and durability in patch panels and wall outlets.

Suitable for

• Multimode OM5 backbone and horizontal cabling
• High-density patch panels and fiber distribution frames
• Data center links and enterprise network connections
• Fiber optic testing setups and field repairs

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC to SC duplex
• Fiber type compatibility: Multimode OM5
• Color: Lime green (OM5 color coding)
• Packaging: Single unit per pack
• Typical insertion loss: Low (designed for multimode performance)
• Mounting: Panel/adapter plate compatible

How to use

Insert the adapter into a compatible panel cutout or adapter plate, ensuring the orientation allows correct duplex alignment. Clean connector endfaces before mating to minimize loss and back reflection. Align each SC connector into the adapter sleeves until it clicks into place, verifying secure engagement. To disconnect, depress the connector latch and withdraw straight out to avoid bending the fiber. Use appropriate dust caps when the adapter is not in use.

Recommendations

For best performance, use with certified OM5 multimode fiber cables and perform endface inspection and cleaning before connection. Avoid excessive bending or mechanical stress at the connector interface and keep the lime green adapter visible for easy OM5 identification during installation and maintenance.
