LC Connectors

The LC connector is a small form-factor fiber optic connector. The LC connector resembles a small SC connector. Lucent Technologies first developed the LC connector for use in TelCo environments; hence, LC stands for Lucent Connectors.

The LC connector has been standardized as FOCIS 10 (Fiber Optic Connector Intermateability Standards) in EIA/TIA-604-10. The LC connector makes use of a 1.25 mm ferrule, half the dimension of the ST ferrule, or else, it’s a regular ceramic ferrule connector. The LC undergoes excellent performance and is greatly preferred for single-mode transmission.

Features of LC Connectors

• Half the dimension of a regular connectors
• Push & pull mechanism like RJ connectors
• Single set design
• Polarized
• Complies with industry standards
• Detachable clips for simplex as well as duplex connectors

The LC Connectors decreases the room by roughly 50% all over the network. It make things easier for movements, additions and modifications; thus aid in saving extra expenses. The LC Connector makes use of an enhanced edition of the well-known, user-friendly RJ-style telephone connector that offers a reassuring, clear click when connected. The latest, single-set design improves the connector’s strength and complies with side-load requirements of standard 2.5 mm connectors. Jumper LC connectors are equipped with detachable clips making it easier to rectify polarity inaccuracies during termination or duplexing simplex connectors in the field. The distinctive mixture of small size and the click of connectivity make the LC Connector a perfect pick for today’s high performance networks.

Applications of LC connectors include Telecommunications networks, Local area networks, Data processing networks, Cable television, Fiber-to-the-home and Premises distribution.
