Neutrik NO2-4FDW-1-A opticalCON DUO inbouwconnector, LC-duplex achterzijde, zwart D-form paneelmontage

The NO2-4FDW-1-A sets itself apart by bringing Neutrik's rugged opticalCON DUO interface to standard LC-Duplex infrastructure. Where ordinary panel connectors force a choice between durability and compatibility, this unit combines a hardened front end with a conventional LC rear, so you can deploy it in demanding environments without reworking existing fiber cabling.

Highlights

• Front connector: opticalCON DUO, compatible with LC-Duplex patch cables when not mated with opticalCON cable connector
• Rear connector: LC-Duplex for direct connection to standard fiber optic equipment
• Supports multimode (OM1–OM4) and singlemode (OS1–OS2) fibers
• D-shape zinc diecast housing with black chrome plating for panel mounting
• IP65 protection when mated, dust and water resistant
• Typical insertion loss < 0.4 dB, return loss > 30 dB
• Over 1000 mating cycles for long service life
• Operating temperature range: -30 °C to +80 °C
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

In daily use

Installation is straightforward: the D-shape housing fits standard panel cutouts and can be mounted from front or rear. The LC-Duplex rear simplifies integration with existing patch panels or equipment, while the opticalCON DUO front provides a robust connection point for temporary or frequently changed links. The black chrome finish resists wear and blends into professional rack setups.
