The Erika Violet OM4 LC Quad Multimode Adaptor provides accurate alignment between compatible LC connectors within OM4 Multimode fibre networks.
Precision phosphor bronze alignment sleeves maintain ferrule positioning for stable and repeatable optical connections. Meanwhile, the quad configuration accommodates four LC fibre connection positions within each adaptor housing, providing a compact solution for higher-density fibre installations.
Its distinctive Erika Violet housing provides clear visual identification for OM4 Multimode connectivity inside compatible fibre patch panels and distribution equipment.
Supplied by fibreSales in convenient packs of 12, these adaptors suit data networks, fibre backbones, equipment rooms, telecommunications infrastructure and other OM4 installations.
An OM4 LC Quad Adaptor provides the physical interfaces required to connect compatible LC connectors within an OM4 Multimode fibre system.
Phosphor bronze sleeves inside the adaptor maintain accurate positioning between mating connector ferrules. As a result, the connected fibres remain precisely aligned across each optical interface.
The quad arrangement provides four LC connection positions within one adaptor housing, making this configuration particularly useful where multiple LC connections need to be organised efficiently.
OM4 is a laser-optimised Multimode fibre category used across high-performance optical networks.
Compatible OM4 infrastructure can support data centre, enterprise, backbone and equipment interconnection applications. However, actual network speed and transmission distance depend on the Ethernet standard, transceivers, operating wavelength, channel loss and complete network design.
Typical applications for these adaptors include:
Choose the Erika Violet OM4 LC Quad Adaptor when your installation uses compatible OM4 Multimode LC connectivity and requires four LC fibre connection positions within a compact adaptor housing.
Where only two LC connection positions are required per housing, an LC Duplex Adaptor may provide a more appropriate configuration.
LC connectors use a compact form factor, making them well suited to fibre environments where connection density matters.
The quad configuration provides four LC connection positions within one adaptor housing. Consequently, installers can organise multiple optical connections efficiently inside compatible patch panels and distribution equipment.
This arrangement can be particularly useful in:
Always confirm that the selected panel or enclosure accepts the corresponding LC Quad adaptor format.
Colour coding helps technicians identify fibre categories and connection types inside optical distribution equipment.
The Erika Violet housing provides clear visual identification for OM4 Multimode connectivity within the fibreSales adaptor range. Therefore, installers can more readily distinguish these adaptors from beige OM1 and aqua OM3 versions.
Colour should support proper labelling and network documentation rather than replace them.
Accurate ferrule positioning contributes to stable optical connections between mating LC connectors.
For this purpose, the OM4 LC Quad Adaptor uses phosphor bronze alignment sleeves.
Key characteristics include:
Connector cleanliness remains equally important because contamination can affect performance even when mechanical alignment is accurate.
Supplied specifications state a typical insertion loss of ≤0.2 dB.
Every connection contributes to the complete optical loss budget. Accordingly, installers should consider adaptors together with connectors, patch leads, pigtails, splices and equipment interfaces.
Maintaining low connection loss helps preserve available optical power throughout the fibre channel.
LC connectors provide a compact optical interface suitable for environments where fibre port density matters.
Their smaller form factor allows multiple connections to fit within limited panel space. Furthermore, the quad adaptor groups four LC connection positions within a single housing.
This combination makes LC Quad connectivity particularly useful for organised fibre distribution and higher-density patching environments.
Reliable optical connectivity depends on accurate mechanical positioning at each mating interface.
Once compatible LC connectors enter the adaptor, the phosphor bronze sleeves maintain ferrule alignment. Precise positioning, in turn, helps minimise unnecessary optical loss.
Although the adaptor contains no active electronics, its mechanical accuracy remains important to consistent connection performance.
Fibre connections may be disconnected during maintenance, equipment replacement or network upgrades.
Excellent repeatability helps maintain consistent positioning when compatible connectors are reinserted. Additionally, good interchangeability supports straightforward integration with compatible OM4 LC connectivity.
Technicians should inspect and clean connector end faces whenever required before reconnecting them.

Erika Violet OM4 LC Quad Multimode Adaptors can support compatible fibre connectivity across:
Final suitability depends on the complete optical system and connector requirements.
LC Quad Adaptors provide a compact way to organise multiple fibre connections inside compatible patch panels and distribution enclosures.
Terminated fibres can connect on one side while corresponding patch leads connect from the accessible patching side. Consequently, technicians can manage network connections without disturbing the fixed fibre infrastructure.
The quad LC format also helps maximise available panel space where connection density matters.
For fibre termination and distribution projects, explore fibreSales Fibre Optic Enclosures.
Each pack contains 12 Erika Violet OM4 LC Quad Multimode Adaptors.
Because every adaptor provides four LC connection positions, the pack supports multiple fibre connection points across compatible patching and distribution equipment.
This quantity provides a practical option for:
Calculate the required number of adaptors from the actual panel configuration and fibre layout.
The primary difference is the number of LC connection positions accommodated within each adaptor housing.

Select the adaptor that corresponds with the fibre system being installed or maintained.
The fibreSales Multimode adaptor range uses distinct housing colours to help identify the corresponding fibre category.
| Fibre Category | Adaptor Colour |
|---|---|
| OM1 | Beige |
| OM3 | Aqua |
| OM4 | Erika Violet |
Visual identification can make fibre management easier, particularly inside panels containing multiple fibre types.
Nevertheless, installers should always verify the fibre category through network documentation and labelling rather than relying on colour alone.
OM4 fibre can form part of high-speed Ethernet channels when combined with compatible optical equipment and a correctly designed network.
However, the adaptor itself does not determine the Ethernet speed or maximum link distance.
Overall performance depends on factors including:
Therefore, select the adaptor as part of the complete optical channel design.
Contamination can increase insertion loss even when an adaptor provides accurate mechanical alignment.
Dust, oils and microscopic debris may interfere with connector end faces. Consequently, technicians should inspect and clean connectors whenever required before mating them.
