Fiber Optic EMI Adapters from Molex Increase Shielding Effectiveness


Limit EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) emissions from front panel equipment with fiber optic EMI shielding adapters from Molex Fiber Optics, a division of Molex Incorporated (NASDAQ: MOLX and MOLXA). Developed to address mechanical designers requirements, the adapters increase shielding effectiveness to greater than -50dB at 4GHz while enhancing front panel aesthetics compared to traditional plastic adapters. Molex's patented shutter system provides excellent dust protection and eye safety features.

EMI adapters, constructed of die cast bodies with an EMI gasket that seals the adapter to the panel, are used in telecommunications and datacommunications front panel applications and test equipment. Two mounting orientations are available. The traditional straight orientation meets industry standard mounting dimensions. The 45° angled orientation allows for a lower cable exit profile with a unique cut-out for each adapter. Additional mounting flexibility is provided with the option to choose between screw or snap mounting style adapters.

Molex's extensive EMI adapter product line offering includes SC, LC and MPO styles. LC adapters are available in duplex configurations. SC and MPO adapters are available in simplex configurations and MPO adapters are also available in quad configurations. External shutters are available on most of the EMI adapters.

Pricing for the EMI adapters depends on the adapter and quantity. For example, an LC duplex adapter would cost $12.94 each, for quantities up to 999. Typical lead time is four to six weeks or less.
