FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
Limit EMI Emissions In Front Panel Applications With Molex’s Optical
EMI Adapters
EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) shielding adapters are designed to address
mechanical design requirements to limit EMI emissions from the equipment front
panel. The adapters are constructed of die-cast bodies with an EMI gasket that
seals the adapters to the panel. EMI adapters increase the shielding effectiveness
while enhancing the front panel aesthetics compared to traditional plastic adapters.
Our extensive EMI adapter product line includes SC, LC Duplex and MPO styles. The
family includes both straight and angled mount adapters in both snap-in and screw
mount configurations. The straight mount designs meet industry standard
mounting dimensions. The angled mount design cut-outs are unique to each
adapter. External shutters are standard on adapters, ensuring dust protection and
eye laser safety.
Features and Benefits
I Die-cast adapter housings provide superior shielding effectiveness
I Aperture is reduced to the minimum possible size to minimize EMI emissions
I EMI gaskets included create an EMI seal between the adapter and the mounting
surface
I Safety shutters included provide dust protection, eye safety and reduce EMI
when no connector is installed
I Screw or snap mount styles available provide mounting flexibility
I Straight or 45° mounting orientations allow for lower cable exit profile
