The TE Connectivity 174137-1 is a Duplex fiber optic coupler from the OPTIMATE series, designed to join two DNP Receptacle-terminated fiber cables. Both the Convert From and Convert To ends are DNP Receptacle interfaces, making it a straight-through adapter for extending or patching a duplex fiber link. The Panel Mount configuration lets you secure it in a bulkhead or enclosure panel, and the included Dust Cap protects the optical surfaces when the coupler is unmated.
Panel Mount and Installation
This coupler mounts through a panel cutout — you'll need the panel thickness and hole dimensions from the product drawing to ensure a snug fit. The DNP interface on both sides means you're mating standard DNP-terminated patch cords or pigtails. The dust cap keeps debris off the ferrule alignment sleeve when the port is idle, which matters in industrial or telco environments where dust can scratch the fiber end face on insertion.
