LC Patchcord

LC Patchcord

The innovative LC design offers a form factor one-half the size of current industry standards, and simple features create a new definition of user-friendliness.
The LC connector is manufactured to meet EIA/TIA 568A, FOCIS 10, IEC 61754-20 and IEC 11801 specifications for optical performance and intermate ability. The LC Duplex fits into the RJ-45 standard cutout and uses the smallest diameter cable jacket in the industry.

 
  • one-half the size of current industry standards
  • increases panel density – provides duplex connection in 50% less space
  • available in MM and SM versions with Ultra and Angle (APC) polishing
  • user-friendly audible latch to indicate proper mating
  • flip for easy connector removing from adaptor
  • simplex and duplex version available
  • pull – proof 1.7 mm simplex mini-cord, 1.8 x 3.6 mm duplex minizip cable and duplex dualan cable diameter 2.9 mm
