What Is Fiber Optic Adapter LC Duplex SC DX Footprint Metal Adapters ?
LC Fiber Optic Adapter are developed to couple and mate 2/4/8 LC connector plugs. Each LC adapter has receptacles on both ends to connect LC patch cords together. It has stainless steel mounting clips allowing it to be easily snapped into rectangular cut outs for duplex SC mount.
Our range of high-quality LC adapters have high precision alignment sleeves for reliability and improved reconnect ability. For single mode and multimode applications, a ceramic sleeve is supplied. The housing is available in different colors with options for flange or flangeless body, metal clips or inbuilt clips.
A LC duplex fiber optic adapter with a SC DX (duplex) footprint and metal housing is a panel-mountable adapter that allows you to connect two LC duplex fiber connectors.
- It is sized to fit into a standard SC duplex (SC DX) panel opening, which is common in many fiber optic patch panels and cassettes.
- Metal housing provides enhanced durability, grounding, and sometimes higher shielding compared to plastic versions.
Key Features

Why Use Metal Adapters?
- Mechanical Strength: Withstands more insertions, removals, and vibration.
- Grounding/Shielding: Sometimes required for specific environments (EMI reduction).
- Longevity: Excellent for high-use or exposed environments (industrial, military, broadcast, etc.).
Applications
- High-density patch panels (using SC duplex/DX mounting holes)
- Telecom and data center backplanes
- Industrial and outdoor rated enclosures
- Any upgraded network seeking robust adapter builds
