Key features and benefits:
- When the thermoplastic elastomer gasket is expanded, it creates a water and air-resistant seal – protecting datacenters from damaging environmental issues
- Constructed of non-metallic, corrosion-resistant material, these plugs are long-lasting and cost-effective
- Designed to split apart for easy retrofit around in-place cables

JackMoon Simplex Duct Plug, Simplex Split Duct Plug, Split Duct Plug, Fiber Optic Simplex Plug
Part of the Cal Am System, a fully comprehensive datacenter solution for securing fiber optic cable
A tried-and-true design, JackMoon® Fiber Optic Simplex plugs effectively organize and seal conduit containing one cable. Essential to any fiber optic network, they ensure cables are properly terminated and protected. Various sizes accommodate different conduit diameters and fiber sizes, making them suitable for multiple applications, including telecommunications, datacenters, internet utility, and power.
These plugs feature an expandable gasket that conforms to and contracts around the cable preventing the incursion of water, air, and dust into the duct system or building. They are made of non-metallic materials to prevent corrosion. The design is “plug-and-play” so that they can be easily installed without special tools or equipment. These benefits make Fiber Optic Simplex plugs a more professional solution than messy sealing foam or other solutions that can be easily removed and can cause unseen damage when installed.
JackMoon Fiber Optic Simplex plugs can be used with many types of fiber:
- Single-Mode Fiber (SMF)
- Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF)
- Common sizes such as 250 microns (µm) (also known as 62.5/125 or 50/125 micron multimode fiber); NOTE: the fiber optic simplex plugs should be selected based on the cable’s outside diameter
These Fiber Optic Simplex plugs are a signature part of the Cal Am System: a fully comprehensive datacenter solution for sealing conduit, microduct, innerduct, and fiber optic cable. Whether building a new network or upgrading an existing one, the complete Cal Am System is the answer.
Fiber Optic Simplex Duct Plug
Note: When selecting a fiber optic simplex plug:
- Determine the inside diameter of the duct and select the range of plugs.
- Determine the outside diameter of the cable (or inner duct) and select the correct plug in the range.
Make sure you know the minimum internal diameter of the duct. Some ducts quoted at 50 mm (2 inch) internal diameter (nominal) might be only 48 mm (1.90 inch). Also, given the outside diameter, determine the minimum O.D. and the maximum wall thickness and calculate the minimum I.D. The actual cable (or inner duct) diameter must be determined. A quoted cable diameter of 15 mm (.60 inch) might be anywhere between 14 and 16 mm (.55 or .63 inches), depending on the manufacturer.
