DLX Fiber Optic Connector
Features and Benefits
Smaller adapter enables smaller closure and
smaller multi-port terminal, takes up less space
on poles, in hand holes and in an ONT.
Smaller connector drops fit in smaller conduit,
requires smaller hole in dwelling, less intrusive
entry into the residence, easier and more secure
ADC's full sized hardened adapter converter is
backward compatible with the OptiTap connector
system, using DLX connnector to full sized
hardened adapter converter.
SC/APC converter is backward compatible with
SC connectors and adapters, using DLX connector
to SC adapter converter. Allows flexibility in MDU
cabling, reduces time and cost for connecting
residential fiber.
Variety of cable options allow cabling choice to
be optimized for outdoor aerial or underground
applications, or for indoor/outdoor applications.

Next Generation Connector
ADC’s DLX Fiber Optic Connector System is a next generation system consisting of connectors, adapters,
converters, terminals and pre-connectorized cable assemblies. The connector system provides a next
generation plug-and-play solution for connecting drop cables to the residence. The DLX adapter offers
a significantly smaller footprint that enables the construction of smaller closures and smaller multi-port
terminals. Smaller terminals result in the reduction of space required on poles, in hand holes and in
an ONT. The space saving benefit of the DLX connector system is a major advantage over previous
generations of hardened connectors.
The DLX connector is significantly smaller in size than previous hardened connector systems allowing
drop placement in smaller ducts.
The connectors require a much smaller hole for passing drops through walls, thus, the next generation
connector is much less intrusive when routing through walls in structures.
The DLX connector is available with a variety of cable options allowing the user to easily specify the
appropriate cable for aerial, underground or indoor/outdoor application.
The DLX connector is completely backward compatible with the OptiTap hardened connector system
using a simple converter. The DLX connector is also backward compatible with the SC connectors
and adapters using a converter to quickly connect DLX connectors to SC adapters or SC connectors
to the DLX adapter. This provides the user with significant flexibility when placing drops in a
residential environment.
