12-Fiber LGX Adapter Panel, 6 Duplex SC Multimode OM3/OM4 10G (FAP-MM-SCG-6D)

This is a 12-fiber LGX adapter panel loaded with six duplex SC multimode adapters for 10 Gigabit OM3 and OM4. It's a cold-rolled steel plate, 130 by 30 mm, which is the single-width LGX footprint, with the six couplers mounted horizontally through it on their plastic flanges. Each adapter has ceramic zirconia alignment sleeves and the aqua housing that marks laser-optimized 50/125 µm multimode, and the SC connectors on the pigtails plug into the back while the patch cords plug into the front, so one plate turns a spliced 12-fiber OM3 or OM4 cable into 12 SC ports for 10GBASE-SR, paired for six two-fiber links. It's the plate for a building backbone or a data hall that runs 10 Gigabit on SC and needs the full 12 fibers of a cable on one slot. It drops into any LGX slot: the RMFP rack-mount splice-and-patch panels, the RMFP-001 patch-only panel, and any other LGX enclosure. It's sold individually. For the same duplex layout at 6 fibers, the FAP-MM-SCG-3D; for 6 fibers on simplex adapters, the FAP-MM-SCG-6DF; for 12 multimode fibers on LC in the same slot, the aqua FAP-MM-LCG-6DF; for the SC pigtails that plug into the back, the PGUSC12-OM3 and PGTSC12-OM3; for the cords on the front, the SCSCOM3, and for SC to an LC switch port, the LCSCOM3; for the enclosures, the RMFP-015, RMFP-016, RMFP-018, and RMFP-001.

Where It Fits

It suits a campus or building backbone running 10 Gigabit over OM3 between closets, where the panel and the switches are on SC and a 12-fiber cable is spliced to SC pigtails in the tray behind an LGX panel and comes out as six duplex ports on the front. It suits a data hall or an AV head end that standardized on SC and is upgrading the fiber to OM3 or OM4 without changing the connector. Installers filling the LGX slots in an RMFP panel on a 10 Gigabit SC plant use it, and so do techs replacing a beige OM1 SC plate with an aqua one as the plant moves to OM3. A telecom room with a 12-fiber OM4 trunk landing on SC is a candidate. It goes with the OM3 and OM4 bulk fiber, the multimode SC pigtails, the splice trays, and the OM3 and OM4 SC patch cords from the fiber collections, and with the LGX enclosures from the fiber panel collection. For a 1U splice-and-patch panel, the RMFP-015. For 2U, the RMFP-016, and for 4U, the RMFP-018. For a patch-only 1U, the RMFP-001. For 6 fibers in the same duplex layout, the FAP-MM-SCG-3D, and on simplex adapters, the FAP-MM-SCG-6DF. For 12 multimode fibers on LC, the FAP-MM-LCG-6DF. For single-mode SC, the FAP-SM-SC-6D. For the pigtails, the PGUSC12-OM3 and PGTSC12-OM3. For the cords, the SCSCOM3, and for SC to LC, the LCSCOM3.

Good to Know

Match the fiber on both sides: this is an aqua 50/125 µm panel, and the adapters will happily mate an orange 62.5 µm OM1 cord to an OM3 pigtail, with the core mismatch loss landing at the panel; keep the pigtails, the panel, and the cords all OM3 or OM4, and the aqua color is the cue. The panel doesn't set the reach, the fiber does: OM3 carries 10GBASE-SR to 300 meters and OM4 to 400 meters, and the panel adds a mated pair to the link, which the loss budget has to carry. Twelve SC ports is the most a single-width plate holds with duplex SC, and the connectors sit close, so plan the cord dressing before you load it; if the switches are on LC anyway, the FAP-MM-LCG-6DF with LC-to-SC cords to the SC gear holds the same 12 fibers with room to spare, and the quad LC plates hold 24. Check the LGX slot before you order: 130 by 30 mm is the standard single-width cutout, and this plate is the same footprint as the Corning CCH-CP12-G7, so it fits enclosures built to that pattern; any slot left empty takes the FAP-BLANK blanking plate. The adapters are horizontal, so the duplex cords lie side by side across the slot and the panel's cable management has to clear them to the left and right. Plug the pigtails into the back before you mount the plate, since there's more room with the plate in your hand, and keep a dust cap in any adapter without a cord in it. Keep the A and B fibers of each duplex pair in the right positions on the back so the front polarity comes out as the as-built says. Clean and inspect every connector before it goes into an adapter, and label the plate's ports by fiber number so the tray and the panel agree.
