Panduit CMDSLCZAW Duplex LC Fiber Adapter - Blue

Overview

The Panduit CMDSLCZAW is a blue duplex LC fiber optic adapter designed for high-density fiber optic connectivity. It provides a secure, reliable interface for connecting two LC fiber connectors, commonly used in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications infrastructure. This adapter ensures proper alignment and signal integrity for single-mode or multimode fiber applications, supporting the Panduit Pan-Net® structured cabling system. The CMDSLCZAW model is specifically keyed for blue color-coding, aiding in system identification and management.

Compatibility

This adapter is compatible with standard duplex LC fiber optic connectors. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into Panduit's fiber optic patch panels, wall plates, and surface mount boxes, including but not limited to the following Panduit product families: Mini-Com® modules, FiberRunner® systems, and various fiber optic enclosures. It supports both single-mode (e.g., OS1, OS2) and multimode (e.g., OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4, OM5) fiber types, provided the connected LC connectors are appropriate for the fiber type.

Installation Notes

The CMDSLCZAW features a snap-in design for tool-less installation into compatible Panduit modules and panels. Ensure the adapter is fully seated and latched to maintain mechanical stability and optical performance. For optimal signal transmission, clean both the adapter's internal ferrules and the connected LC connector end-faces prior to mating. The blue housing color is critical for identifying specific fiber types or network segments within a larger installation, preventing mismatches.
