LC Connector Family - for Singlemode and Multimode Fibres

General Info
The LC connector represents a new generation in fibre optic termination technology. A small form-factor (SFF) connector, the LC connector features a ferrule diameter only half that of traditional connectors. This smaller size allows a much higher density to be achieved in both active and passive communication equipment. The ADC KRONE LC connector combines the advantage of high connection density with ease of handling and quick installation. The connector is available in both simplex and duplex form. The duplex variant has the same dimensions as an SC simplex plug.
- Product Description: LC Connector Kit Multimode, for buffered fibre (0.9mm), beige housing
- Product Number: 7048 1 018-00
- Application: Communications Room
- Each connector kit includes: 1 connector housing of plastic, pre-assembled with ferrule (ceramic outer diameter: 1.25 mm) with flange (PBT), spring and dust cover
Features
- For industrial manufacture of singlemode and multimode cable assemblies
- Low number of components makes assembly easy
- Simple and quick polishing and assembly process
- Only one kit type is necessary for both simplex and duplex patch cords, which results in lower inventory costs
- ADC KRONE's LC duplex clip enables two simplex connectors to be put together to form one duplex connector, even after the simplex connectors have been assembled (the clip is ordered separately)
- The ferrule can be adjusted (or tuned)
Mechanical Specification
- Ferrule hole diameter 127 µm
- Shape of ferrule tip: conical, flat
Electrical/Optical Performance
- Insertion loss Random mating (IEC 61300-3-4) < 0.25dB typical, maximum < 0.50 dB (95%)
Compliance/Testing
- Mating face: IEC 61754-20. Optical, mechanical and environmental characteristics: IEC 61753-1-1, EN 50377-7-1
Applications
- LC connectors are used in telecommunication networks, Local Area Networks (LANs) and in-house cabling systems. They connect elements for transmission technology (in accordance with international standards) but are also increasingly used for patching and jumpering in distribution equipment.
