Panduit CMDSGRLCZBL Mini-Com LC Duplex Fiber Adapter Module

Panduit CMDSGRLCZBL is a Mini-Com LC duplex fiber adapter module that couples two LC duplex connectors in a single module space, delivering high-density multimode connectivity for structured cabling systems. The green adapter body indicates OM3/OM4 multimode compatibility, while the black module housing integrates into Mini-Com modular frames and patch panels. Zirconia ceramic split sleeves and FOCIS-10 compliance ensure low insertion loss and repeatable performance in data center, enterprise LAN, and fiber-to-the-desk deployments.

Key Features

LC duplex configuration couples two LC connectors in one Mini-Com module space

Green adapter body for OM3/OM4 multimode fiber identification per TIA-606 color standards

Zirconia ceramic split sleeves deliver low insertion loss and long-term durability

Integrated panel retention clips secure module in Mini-Com frames without tools

TIA/EIA-605 FOCIS-10 compliant for standards-based LC connector interoperability

Black module housing fits all Mini-Com modular patch panels and surface-mount boxes

Exceeds TIA/EIA-568-B.3 requirements for premises fiber-optic cabling

The LC (Lucent Connector) interface is the dominant small form factor (SFF) standard for multimode and single-mode fiber terminations in commercial and data center networks. This adapter uses precision-aligned zirconia ceramic split sleeves—harder and more wear-resistant than phosphor bronze—to mate LC ferrules with minimal insertion loss and return loss. The duplex configuration accepts standard LC duplex connectors (commonly used for 10GBASE-SR, 40GBASE-SR4, and 100GBASE-SR4 optics) and occupies a single Mini-Com module footprint, the same width as an RJ45 keystone. The green body follows TIA-606-B aqua/green color coding for OM3 and OM4 laser-optimized 50/125 µm multimode fiber, preventing accidental cross-connection with single-mode (blue) or OM1/OM2 (beige/orange) adapters during moves, adds, and changes.

Mini-Com is Panduit's modular connector system for copper and fiber keystones, adapters, and blank modules that snap into universal frames—patch panels, wall plates, surface-mount boxes, and angled frames. Because LC duplex adapters consume only one module space (versus two spaces for SC duplex), installers can deploy 24, 48, or 96 fiber ports in a single rack unit with Mini-Com high-density panels, preserving rack space for active equipment. The integrated retention clips on this module engage the frame rails with an audible click and require no screws or clips, so you can reconfigure panels in the field without tools. In fiber-to-the-desk and horizontal fiber architectures, these adapters terminate backbone or building riser cables at intermediate distribution frames (IDFs), connecting switches or media converters to desktop LC patch cords.

Panduit manufactures this adapter to exceed TIA/EIA-568-B.3 and TIA-605 FOCIS-10 mechanical and optical requirements, and the module is RoHS compliant for installations subject to environmental directives in the U.S. and international markets. The zirconia sleeve construction resists wear through hundreds of mating cycles, maintaining insertion-loss specifications over the life of the installation—critical for 10/40/100 Gbps links with tight loss budgets. When you're building or upgrading structured cabling systems that demand OM4 bandwidth, modular flexibility, and long-term reliability, this LC duplex adapter integrates into Panduit's Mini-Com ecosystem without compromising density or performance.
