Features and Benefits
The LC connector was developed to meet the growing
demand for small form factor, higher density
fiber optic connectivity. With this connector, space
requirements on equipment bays, in distribution
panels, and on wall plates has been reduced by 50%,
over 2.50mm (.098”) ferrule connectors, without
sacrificing performance.
Common and proven technologies have been
combined in the LC connector system to deliver a
high performance and easy to implement fiber optic
interface. Utilizing the craft friendly RJ-45 telephone
plug interface, the LC connector provides a reliable
and robust latching mechanism while the time tested
1.25mm (.049”) pre-radius ceramic ferrule is used to
terminate the fiber.
Molex LC connectors are available in both simplex
and duplex configurations. Available in industry
standard beige (multimode), blue (single mode), and
green (angle polish) colors, and will accommodate
900um buffered fiber, 1.60mm (.063”), 2.00mm
(.079”), or 3.00mm (.118”) jacketed cable. With its
6 position tuning feature, the connector may be used
to achieve unprecedented insertion loss performance
by optimizing the alignment of the fiber cores.
Additionally, 45° and 90° boot options are available
for 1.60mm (.063”) and 2.00mm (.079”) jacketed
cable.
Simplex, Duplex and Quad LC mating adapters are also
available in blue, beige, green and aqua colors. The
adapters are available in snap mount or screw mount
configurations, ceramic or metal alignment sleeves,
and can also be provided with safety shutters on one
or both sides to help prevent eye injuries. LC EMI
shielding adapters featuring metal housings are also
available for use in EMI/RFI sensitive applications.
