Panduit CMDSYLLCZBL Mini-Com OM4 LC Duplex Fiber Adapter Module

The Panduit CMDSYLLCZBL addresses fiber panel density and OM4 migration requirements in data centers, storage networks, and enterprise structured cabling installations. This Mini-Com adapter couples two LC duplex connectors in a single module space, doubling port density over traditional SC adapters while maintaining FOCIS-10 compliance and backward compatibility with OM3 infrastructure. The yellow adapter body follows TIA-606-B color-coding for multimode OM4 fiber, paired with a black module housing that integrates seamlessly into mixed-media patch panels and face plates.

Key Features

Duplex LC configuration in single Mini-Com module space for maximum panel density

OM4 optimized for 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR10 applications up to 150m

Zirconia split sleeves deliver insertion loss ≤0.3 dB typical

TIA/EIA-605 FOCIS-10 compliant for universal LC connector compatibility

Integrated panel retention clips prevent module dislodgement during patching

Yellow adapter body per TIA-606-B OM4 multimode color standard

Non-keyed design accommodates both OM3 and OM4 LC patch cords

Black module housing for professional aesthetics in visible installations

The FOCIS-10 fiber optic connector interface standard ensures mechanical alignment and insertion-loss performance across LC connector manufacturers. Panduit's zirconia split sleeves—harder and more dimensionally stable than standard ceramic—maintain concentricity under repeated mating cycles, critical in SAN environments where patch cords are frequently moved during storage reconfiguration. The duplex adapter accepts two LC connectors side-by-side within the same footprint as a single RJ45 module, letting you populate a 48-port blank panel with 96 LC fiber ports. Integrated retention clips lock the module into Panduit Mini-Com panels, face plates, and surface-mount boxes without requiring snap-in force that can crack brittle fiber housings. The non-keyed sleeve design accepts both aqua (OM3) and erika violet (OM4) LC patch cords, preserving investment during phased 10G-to-40G upgrades.

OM4 fiber supports 10GBASE-SR links up to 400 meters and 40GBASE-SR4 links up to 150 meters, making this adapter suitable for data center top-of-rack to spine connections, storage area network fabrics, and fiber-to-the-desk enterprise deployments planning for 40G edge switches. The yellow body provides instant visual identification during adds/moves/changes—techs can differentiate multimode OM4 from singlemode OS2 (blue) or OM3 (aqua) at a glance, reducing mis-patch incidents that can blow optics or create invisible performance bottlenecks. The black module housing blends into Panduit's Mini-Com ecosystem, allowing you to build mixed copper-fiber patch panels without the visual clutter of mismatched faceplate colors.

Exceeds TIA/EIA-568-B.3 performance requirements for Category-compliant fiber optic cabling and meets RoHS environmental restrictions for lead-free installation in EU and domestic projects requiring sustainability compliance. Ships in 10-unit cartons for volume data center builds and campus backbone installations.
