Panduit CMDSRDLCZBL Mini-Com LC Duplex Adapter Module

The Panduit CMDSRDLCZBL delivers a compact, panel-mount LC duplex adapter in the Mini-Com modular format—coupling two LC duplex connectors in a single module footprint. Built for high-density fiber patch panels in enterprise LANs, storage area networks, and fiber-to-the-desk deployments, this adapter combines a red multimode fiber adapter body with a black module housing and precision zirconia split sleeves for repeatable low-loss connections. Integrated panel retention clips lock the module into Mini-Com frames without tools, and FOCIS-10 compliance ensures interoperability across TIA/EIA-compliant LC connector ecosystems.

Key Features

LC duplex adapter in Mini-Com single-module format—two duplex LC ports in one space

Red adapter body / black module housing—fast visual identification of multimode fiber runs

Zirconia ceramic split sleeves—superior hardness and dimensional stability vs. bronze or phosphor-bronze

Integrated panel retention clips—snap-lock mounting in Mini-Com frames, faceplates, and patch panels

FOCIS-10 compliant—meets TIA/EIA-605 fiber optic connector intermateability standard

OM3/OM4 multimode compatible—supports 10/40/100 Gb Ethernet over laser-optimized 50/125 μm fiber

Exceeds TIA/EIA-568-B.3 requirements—certified performance for structured cabling installations

RoHS compliant—meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU on hazardous substance restrictions

The CMDSRDLCZBL uses zirconia ceramic split sleeves instead of metal—zirconia's Mohs hardness rating of 8.5 resists wear from repeated mating cycles and holds tighter bore tolerances across temperature swings, critical for maintaining insertion loss specs below 0.3 dB in high-cycle datacenter and telco applications. The duplex LC footprint couples two 2-fiber connectors (four total fibers) in the space of a single Mini-Com module, letting you build 96-fiber patch panels in 2U rack spaces or populate 6-port faceplates with twelve LC duplex adapters. The non-keyed design accepts both APC and UPC polished connectors, though you'll typically pair red adapters with OM3/OM4 multimode patch cords for 10GBASE-SR, 40GBASE-SR4, or 100GBASE-SR10 links.

Panel retention is handled by molded clips on the module body that snap into the mounting holes of Panduit Mini-Com faceplates, surface-mount boxes, angled adapters, and high-density panel frames—no screws, no adhesive. This makes MAC (move/add/change) work faster: pull the module, swap the adapter if you're migrating from multimode to singlemode infrastructure, snap it back. The red adapter body follows TIA-606-B color coding for 50/125 μm laser-optimized multimode fiber (OM3/OM4), so your techs can visually distinguish multimode LC ports from blue (singlemode OS2) or aqua (OM3 legacy) at a glance during troubleshooting or adds.

Designed for LANs, storage area networks, and fiber-to-the-desk deployments, the CMDSRDLCZBL gives you FOCIS-10 intermateability assurance—any TIA-compliant LC duplex connector will mate cleanly, and exceeding TIA/EIA-568-B.3 specs means you're covered for warranty and compliance sign-off on structured cabling jobs. Carton quantity is 10 modules, letting you stock a full 96-port panel build or a drawer of spares without breaking into individually packaged units.
