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

LC Patchcord with Duplex Uniboot connector – ULCDF

The flexible ULCDF connector allows for the connector to be disengaged easily from densely loaded panels without the need for special tools or finger access.
The regular LC adapter spacing was limited by the room required to reach LC connectors with human fingers or with special tools, This low-profile ULCDF connector, together with its pull tab allow LC adapters to be stacked with full use of vertical space.
