Overview
The FiberXP AD-MPO-FLS-M4 is a simplex MPO coupler adapter designed for high-density fiber optic connectivity. Featuring an SC footprint and a reduced flange, this adapter is ideal for space-constrained environments such as data centers and central office distribution hubs.
Engineered for precision and durability, the adapter utilizes an opposed key orientation (key up to key down) to ensure accurate alignment. Its design features a robust latch beam and interface to minimize debris generation, supporting reliable signal integrity across a wide operating temperature range.
Key Features
-
SC Footprint
Designed with standard SC dimensions for easy integration into existing patch panels and chassis. -

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the magenta color signify?
The magenta color is the industry-standard identification for OM4 (laser-optimized multimode) fiber optic cabling.
Is this adapter compatible with standard MPO connectors?
Yes, it is compatible with both MPO and MTP style connectors.
What is the maximum fiber count this adapter supports?
This adapter is rated for use with MPO connectors up to 72 fiber counts.
Can this be used in outdoor environments?
The adapter is rated for a wide temperature range (-40°C to 100°C), making it suitable for distribution hubs that may experience extreme temperatures, provided it is housed in a protected enclosure.
What is the flange style?
This model features a reduced flange, which is specifically designed for high-density mounting where space between adapters is limited.
