Fiber Optic Network Adapter Plates

Fiber optic network adapters help enable high-bandwidth connectivity across a variety of environments. In homes, they support the delivery of HD video content and online gaming. In businesses, they facilitate large file transfers and cloud-based applications.

Whether you require 6 LC duplex couplers or 12 ST simplex adapters, a Fiber Adapter Panel is an essential component to every installation. There are several types of fiber patch panels including rack mount, wall mount and outdoor enclosures.

What is a Fiber Adapter Plate?

A fiber optic network adapter plate bridges the gap between fiber infrastructure and devices that don’t have built-in fiber ports. These plates support high-speed data transmission across long distances, providing unparalleled bandwidth for telecommunications and data communication applications. They are essential in industries like media and entertainment, where high-bandwidth applications like video editing require uninterrupted connectivity to complete the process. Fiber optic networks also facilitate the exchange of information in healthcare, where applications like telemedicine and electronic health records rely on secure and fast transmissions.

To complement our fiber wall mount enclosures and fiber patch panels, we developed a snap-in fiber fiber-optic-adapter-panels-plate adapter panel that is versatile enough to satisfy any fiber application and durable enough to withstand field installations. Each of these fiber panels features an extensive assortment of connector types to fit a variety of network applications and can be pre-loaded into our fiber cabinets for plug-and-play functionality.

To ensure the longevity of your fiber optic network, keep these fiber adapter plates clean with our fiber cleaning kits, pens, fluids, and wipes. This will help prevent any debris from contaminating the ends of your optical connections, which could lead to a network failure. In addition to our LC and MTP fiber optic adapter panels, we also offer blank filler panels that are ideal for preventing foreign material from entering the space when not in use.

LGX Adapter Panels

LGX adapter panels are used to house backbone assembly connectors inside a fiber optic enclosure. They are also used to patch fiber optic cable out from the backbone assembly to equipment like SFP modules and media converters. They can be configured with a variety of different types of fiber optic connectors depending on your network requirements. These LGX adapter panels are compatible with all standard rack mount and wall mount fiber enclosures using a standard LGX chassis.

This LGX panel is configured with 6 LC simplex multimode 50/125 OM3 & OM4 fiber optic couplers. The LC fiber adapters are keyed-opposite to prevent incorrect mating and have a metal sleeve for precision, alignment and durability. They are ideal for 10Gbe multimode connectivity and support up to 12 optical fibers.

Our LGX blank fiber optic adapter panel is a great way to add more ports to your existing LGX chassis. The blank adapter panels are compatible with all copper cabling as well as fiber optic connectors. Simply insert cat 5, 6, 7, or 8 keystone jacks or couplers into the blank ports to create your own custom cable management solution. These LGX panels come with a heavy-duty bulkhead for secure mounting in your 19 inch or 23 inch rack or cabinet.

High Density Adapter Panels

These LGX-compatible fiber optic adapter panels snap easily into Black Box open and lock style enclosures (fiber wall cabinets, rackmount fiber cabinets and rackmount fiber shelves). They can also be used in their own as an easy way to patch fiber cables to termination enclosures. High-retention phosphor bronze alignment sleeves work with both multimode and non-angle polish single-mode fiber. Loaded and blank panel filler panels are available to close unused adapter slot openings in the enclosure when they are not being used.

These high-density fiber optical patch panel kits provide a fiber optic components quick and cost-effective solution to connecting network equipment and cables for one-to-one patching or fusion splicing. Each panel contains 96 LC ports with Zirconia split sleeves, and can be loaded with various LC, SC or ST connector options. This means that it can be quickly configured to support the specific requirements of your network or application.

The variety of connector types on these LC/SC and MTP fiber patch panels make it easy to support your network applications without having to change cassettes during upgrades or expansions. Each high-density fiber cassette can be pre-loaded with 6 LC duplex couplers, 12 MTP couplers or a different configuration. We offer a broad selection of panel configurations that fit all of the industry’s leading fiber enclosures. These high-density adapter panels can substantially increase the number of connections that can be made in your network.

Blank Adapter Panels

Our blank fiber adapter panel covers unused ports within your networking configuration while providing a neat and clean appearance. These panels are easy to install within your established network and help prevent dust or foreign debris from entering the enclosure or patch panel. These affordable fillers also offer a professional and finished look to your network, an aspect quintessential during equipment demonstrations for factory acceptance tests or other testing activities.

Our high-density LGX compatible fiber optic patch panel can be loaded with a variety of different connectors including standard SC duplex couplers, LC simplex couplers and MTP multimode or single mode adapters. Each adapter plate features zirconia sleeves to provide an optimal connection, and they meet all ANSI/TIA standards for performance and port identification. Our high-density fiber optic patch panel kits are the perfect solution for your high-speed data center network.

Our LC-LC high density fiber patch panel kit is loaded with a combination of LC and LC APC single mode connectors to provide up to 72 ports for your data center networking needs. Each adapter plate is rated at 10GbE and comes with all necessary installation hardware. This high-density fiber patch panel kit snaps easily into our FB23 Fiber Patch Panels. Clean your fiber connector end faces and components regularly to avoid major network issues. We have a wide selection of fiber cleaning kits, pens, fluids and wipes to help you keep your optical fiber system working at maximum efficiency.
