The Bezel Adapter System from Molex provides many advantages when deploying various fiber optic adapters on equipment front and/or back panels. These versatile bezels are designed to permit the use of different adapter styles utilizing the same panel cutout. Offered in simplex and duplex versions, protection from dust or contamination and laser safety are achieved by a self-closing hinged shutter integrated on the bezel’s front face. The bezel provides a 60˚ exit angle for the adapter when mounted into a flat panel. The angled interface provides additional eye protection by directing any stray light toward the ground as well as minimizing dust accumulation into the adapter. The complete bezel can also be removed for cleaning of the adapter or to change the style of adapter used on the panel. Spring-loaded shutters are also available with an optional push-tab that provides an easy way to open the shutter in tight spaces with a simple push by the user’s finger. Most Bezel Adapters are provided pre-loaded with the adapter style of choice*. Simplex designs are available in hybrid metallized adapter versions such as ST†/SC and the FC/SC as well as Molex’s simplex SC and Duplex LC small flange plastic adapters. The MTP‡ adapter is also available for use with the simplex adapter version for high density fiber count applications. The duplex bezel accommodates the SC duplex style adapter. All simplex and duplex adapters are available with ceramic or metal alignment sleeves. Bezel Adapters 106004 * The MTP adapters are not pre-loaded from the factory.
