Limit front-panel Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) emissions with Molex’s new 3-in-1 Optical
Multi-Format EMI Adapter
The versatile optical multi-format EMI adapter provides
users with one adapter interface for three connector
styles. In addition, this new adapter provides EMI
protection in front-panel applications.
The two-position multi-format adapter is available
in a single-screw, rear-mount configuration which
accepts simplex LC connectors on the internal side and
simplex LC, MU, or LX.5 connectors on the user side.
This design allows the equipment manufacturer to
have a consistent LC internal interface while allowing
end users to select the most appropriate connector (LC,
MU, or LX.5) for their applications, without having
to change adapters or re-configure the equipment.
The angled-mount design cut-outs are unique to this
adapter. Internal shutters are standard, ensuring eye
laser-safety protection.
The multi-format EMI shielding adapters are designed
to address mechanical design requirements to limit
EMI emissions from the equipment front panel. These
adapters are constructed with a die-cast mounting
body with an EMI gasket that seals the adapters to the
panel and a polymer user interface which decreases
contamination and connector wear during high-use
applications. Multi-format EMI adapters increase the
shielding effectiveness while enhancing the front panel
aesthetics compared to traditional plastic adapters.
Molex’s Multi-Format EMI Adapters complement the
existing robust EMI adapter offering. For more details
