Camplex HYDAP-MLC SMPTE 311M Male to Duplex LC Fiber Optic Adapter

SMPTE 311M to Duplex LC Adapter

The Camplex HYDAP-MLC is a passive fiber optic adapter that converts SMPTE 311M male hybrid connectors to duplex LC fiber interfaces. It enables integration of hybrid camera cables with standard duplex fiber runs in professional video workflows. The extruded aluminium housing and recessed connectors protect the fiber ends from damage during frequent handling in harsh production environments. A square profile prevents the adapter from rolling on flat surfaces.

Production crews needing hybrid-to-LC conversion

This adapter suits broadcast engineers and camera operators who must connect SMPTE 311M hybrid fiber cables to duplex LC patch panels or riser-rated cables. It eliminates the expense of long hybrid cable runs by allowing standard duplex fiber to carry the signal over extended distances. Teams requiring active signal conditioning, power over fiber, or conversion to other connector types such as ST or SC will need a different device.

Passive operation under continuous use

As a passive component, the adapter introduces no latency, requires no power supply, and generates no heat regardless of how long the camera link remains active. The aluminium body dissipates any ambient temperature rise while the recessed ferrules and included dust caps keep the optical faces clean during repeated mate and unmate cycles. Signal integrity stays consistent across the full length of a production day without degradation from thermal drift or active electronics.
