Shop fiber adapter plates for configuring rack-mount and wall-mount fiber enclosures. Wallco offers loaded plates with LC, SC, ST and FC fiber adapters in single-mode, multimode and APC configurations for modular fiber distribution systems.
Compare plates by connector type, fiber capacity, adapter construction, multimode or single-mode compatibility and enclosure mounting format.
Fiber adapter plates provide removable connection modules for compatible fiber enclosures and distribution panels. A loaded plate combines the mounting plate with several fiber adapters, allowing installers to configure an enclosure for the connector type and capacity required by the application.
LC plates provide compact high-density fiber connectivity and may support multiple duplex adapters within one enclosure position. Verify whether the adapters are intended for multimode, single-mode UPC or single-mode APC connections.
Loaded SC, ST and FC plates support fiber systems using these established connector formats. The number of physical adapter openings generally corresponds closely with fiber count for simplex connectors, while duplex formats can provide additional connections within the same panel area.
Adapter sleeves and connector alignment requirements vary with the optical system. Match the plate to the fiber mode and connector polish used by the connected patch cords, pigtails and equipment.
Adapter plates are designed around specific mounting formats such as LGX-style or manufacturer-defined modular openings. Confirm plate dimensions and mounting compatibility with the fiber enclosure before ordering rather than assuming all removable plates are interchangeable.
Identify the enclosure system first, followed by the required connector type and total fiber count. Then verify single-mode or multimode compatibility, UPC or APC requirements and the number of plate positions available in the enclosure.
