FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS Universal Optical Adapter 106154 Populate multiple optical-connector interfaces with Molex’s Universal Optical Adapter The Universal Optical Adapter allows customers to interchange one half of the optical interface to suite the application. All of the functionality and performance benefits from a standard optical adapter are maintained in this versatile design. The universal optical adapter provides a common panel-mounting hole, which permits an internally mounted SC connector to be mated to a SC, ST or FC connector on the opposite side. This design allows the user interface to be converted between the three connector styles as needed. The universal adapter can also be used to mate SC/APC (angle-polished endface) to SC/APC and FC/APC terminations. When the customer interface is removed, the alignment sleeve may be easily extracted, exposing the ferrule and endface of the internally-mounted SC connector. With the sleeve removed, the customer has access to clean the internally-mated connector without disconnecting it from the adapter and without entering the enclosure, providing a safe and fast method to ensure proper optical performance. The universal optical adapter is offered in two options, as a pre-assembled adapter as well as individual components, providing the OEM design flexibility. The first option, pre-assembled adapters, are provided ready to install and use. The second option is to only populate the internal-adapter side, allowing customized configuration prior to shipping or by the customer after delivery. By using a common SC interface, OEM’s can minimize the number of panel designs required for multiple adapter styles. In addition, simplified stock management will result with fewer part numbers and stock quantities. Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) shielding is available on select adapters. Future designs will also incorporate an LC version which is compatible with the existing user interface, allowing the interconnection of 2.5mm ferrule connectors (FC,SC or ST) to Small Form Factor (SFF) 1.25mm (LC) connectors. Features and Benefits ■ Die-cast SC panel housing with EMI shielding provides EMI and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) shielding on the internal SC adapter side ■ Interchangeable SC, ST and FC user interfaces allows fast and easy conversion for multiple applications ■ Easy front-access to the alignment sleeve and internally-mated connector endface allows easy inspection and cleaning without entering the enclosure ■ Available as individual components allows for customized configuration prior to shipping or after delivery to customer SPECIFICATIONS Reference Information Packaging: Individual bag or tray Mates With Connectors: SC Tunable, Series 106032 SC Non-tunable, Series 106063 SC/APC, Series 106065 FC, Series 106053 FC/APC, Series 106055 ST, Series 106010 STII, Series 106012 Designed In: Millimeters Mechanical Durability: >200 mate and demate cycles Insertion Loss:  0.2dB typical Mounting Style: Snap Physical Panel Housing: Zinc Die-cast Plating: Nickel User Interface: Polymer Alignment sleeve: Zirconia (Zr) Ceramic or Phosphor Bronze (CuSn) Operating Temperature: -40 to +85° C APPLICATIONS Universal Optical Adapter 106154 ■ Telecommunication equipment - Routers - Servers ■ Other markets - Test equipment - Lab use - Storage servers ORDERING INFORMATION Development Kit Order No. Kit Contents 106154-0000 SC Universal EMI Base, SC User-Half, ST User-Half, FC User-Half, Zirconia Ceramic Alignment Sleeve, Phosphor Bronze Alignment Sleeve, EMI Shield, Dust Cap 2.5mm Universal Optical Adapter Assemblies with EMI Shielding Order No. Adapter Alignment Sleeve Mode Color Shutter 106154-1000 106154-1001 106154-1005 SC to SC SC to SC SC/APC to SC/APC Zirconia Phosphor Bronze Zirconia Single Mode Multimode Single Mode Blue Beige Green Yes Yes Yes 106154-1010 106154-1011 106154-1015 SC to FC SC to FC SC/APC to SC/APC Zirconia Phosphor Bronze Zirconia Single Mode Multimode Single Mode Blue Beige Green No No No 106154-1020 106154-1021 SC to ST SC to ST Zirconia Phosphor Bronze Single Mode Multimode Blue Beige No No 2.5mm Universal Optical Adapter Assemblies, No EMI Shielding Order No. Adapter Alignment Sleeve Mode Color Shutter 106154-1100 106154-1101 106154-1105 SC to SC SC to SC SC/APC to SC/APC Zirconia Phosphor Bronze Zirconia Single Mode Multimode Single Mode Blue Beige Green Yes Yes Yes 106154-1110 106154-1111 106154-1115 SC to FC SC to FC SC/APC to SC/APC Zirconia Phosphor Bronze Zirconia Single Mode Multimode Single Mode Blue Beige Green No No No 106154-1120 106154-1121 SC to ST SC to ST Zirconia Phosphor Bronze Single Mode Multimode Blue Beige No No Universal Optical Adapter 106154 ORDERING INFORMATION Accessories, SC Base Sub Assembly Order No. Alignment Sleeve Color EMI Shield 106154-0010 106154-0012 106154-0015 106154-0016 Zirconia Phosphor Bronze Zirconia Phosphor Bronze Metal Metal Metal Metal Yes Yes No No Accessories, End-User Interface Order No. End-User Interface Color Shutter 106154-0020 106154-0022 106154-0025 106154-0031 106154-0033 106154-0036 106154-0041 106154-0043 SC SC SC/APC FC FC FC/APC ST ST Blue Beige Green Blue Beige Green Blue Beige Yes Yes Yes No No No No No Accessories Order No. 106154-0006 Components Dust Cap, Removal Tool 106154-0050 106154-0051 Alignment Sleeve Assembly, Zirconia Alignment Sleeve Assembly, Phosphor Bronze Americas Headquarters Lisle, Illinois 60532 U.S.A. 1-800-78MOLEX amerinfo@molex.com Order No. USA-348 Far East North Headquarters Far East South Headquarters European Headquarters Yamato, Kanagawa, Japan Jurong, Singapore Munich, Germany 81-462-65-2324 65-6-268-6868 49-89-413092-0 feninfo@molex.com fesinfo@molex.com eurinfo@molex.com Visit our website at www.molex.com/product/fiber/emiadapter.html Printed in USA/JI/2006.05 Corporate Headquarters 2222 Wellington Ct.
