Optical EMI Adapters

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.
