6-Fiber LGX Adapter Panel, 6 Simplex SC Multimode OM3/OM4 10G (FAP-MM-SCG-6DF)

This is a 6-fiber LGX adapter panel loaded with six simplex SC multimode adapters for 10 Gigabit OM3 and OM4. It's a 1.6 mm cold-rolled steel plate, 130 by 30 mm, which is the single-width LGX footprint, with the six couplers mounted vertically through it on their plastic flanges. Each adapter has ceramic 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 6-fiber OM3 or OM4 cable, or half of a 12-fiber one, into 6 SC ports for 10GBASE-SR. 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 6 fibers on duplex adapters, the FAP-MM-SCG-3D; 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.

Features

• Six simplex SC adapters, 6 fibers. Multimode OM3 and OM4, 50/125 µm, aqua housings, ceramic alignment sleeves, PC polish.
• 10 Gigabit. For 10GBASE-SR and other laser-optimized multimode links.
• LGX footprint. 130 × 30 mm single-width plate; fits standard LGX panels and enclosures.
• Cold-rolled steel, 1.6 mm.
• Vertical couplers on flanges. Each adapter clips through the plate on its own plastic flanges.
• Sold individually.

Where It Fits

It suits a drop point or a small office where a 6-fiber OM3 or OM4 cable lands in an LGX enclosure on SC and the circuits are patched one fiber at a time. It suits a building backbone in a telecom room where the switches or the media converters are on SC and the plant is being upgraded to 10 Gigabit without changing the connector. Installers filling one LGX slot for a small multimode entry use it, and so do techs who want a simplex SC plate beside the duplex ones so single-fiber circuits and odd pairings have a home. A wall-mount box with a single LGX cutout and an SC plant 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 paired on duplex adapters, the FAP-MM-SCG-3D. For 12 multimode fibers on LC, the FAP-MM-LCG-6DF. For single-mode SC, the FAP-SM-SC-6S. 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. Simplex or duplex is the choice between this plate and the FAP-MM-SCG-3D: both carry 6 fibers in one slot, but a duplex coupler holds a transmit-and-receive pair side by side and keeps polarity for you, which is what most two-fiber 10 Gigabit links want, while a simplex plate suits single-fiber circuits or a panel where the pairing changes; if two ports make a pair here, label them. If the switches are on LC anyway, the FAP-MM-LCG-6DF with LC-to-SC cords to the SC gear holds 12 fibers in the same slot. 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-CP06-E6, so it fits enclosures built to that pattern; any slot left empty takes the FAP-BLANK blanking plate. The adapters are vertical, so the cords stand up and down and the panel's cable management has to clear them. 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. 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.
