VERTICAL CABLE 264-LAP04-1C3Z1 – LC/QX SM/UPC FLANGELESS LGX ADAPTER PLATE
The 264-LAP04-1C3Z1 is a 3-position LC quad LGX Adapter Plate designed for high-density singlemode fiber connectivity in structured cabling deployments. Built with flangeless, spring-retained adapters and a durable powder-coated aluminum frame, this LGX Adapter Plate delivers low-loss, high-return-loss performance while maximizing fiber count per rack unit. Its universal LGX form factor allows quick integration into standard fiber enclosures, making the 264-LAP04-1C3Z1 an ideal choice wherever maximum-density LC singlemode connectivity is required.
KEY FEATURES
Here’s what makes the 264-LAP04-1C3Z1 an ideal LGX Adapter Plate:
- 3-Position LC Quad Configuration: Supports 3 LC quad adapters (12 fibers total) for maximum-density singlemode connectivity.
- Flangeless, Spring-Retained Design: Chatter-proof three-sided or two-sided spring retention secures adapters without additional hardware.
- Singlemode UPC Performance: Optimized for SM 9/125 fiber with UPC polish for reliable, low-reflectance connections.
- Low Insertion Loss: Rated at 0.3 dB or lower when used with standard-compliant plugs.
- High Return Loss: UPC-rated at 55 dB or more for minimal signal reflection.
- LGX-Compatible Form Factor: Universal fit into standard LGX enclosures and panels.
- Durable Aluminum Construction: 1.5-mm (15-GA) aluminum alloy plate with black powder coating resists corrosion and wear.
- Precision Cutouts: Ensure secure adapter alignment and consistent fiber mating.
- Lightweight Design: Weighs just 0.07 lb (0.03 kg) for easy handling and installation.
- Telcordia GR-326-CORE Compliant: Meets industry standards for fiber optic connector performance.
APPLICATIONS
The 264-LAP04-1C3Z1 LGX Adapter Plate excels in high-density singlemode fiber installations:
