What's LC Optical Fiber Connector?


LC Optical Fiber connector is a small form factor connector which resembles Fiber optical SC connector and first developed by Lucent Technologies for TelCo environment uses. Hence, LC stands for Lucent Connectors.

Hwaying LC fiber optical connector completely follows standard FOCIS 10 (Fiber Optic Connector Intermateability Standards) in EIA/TIA-604-10 offering an excellent performance and price.

Due to LC fiber optical Connectors with small size, it can save 50% installing room by roughly over the network which makes things easier for movements, additions, and modifications, thus preventing additional expenses.

The LC Fiber optical Connector uses an enhanced edition of the well-known, user friendly RJ-style telephone connector which makes reassuring clear click when connected. The latest single set design highly improves its strength and complies with side-load requirements of standard 2.5 mm connectors. LC Jumper connectors are equipped with detachable clips, making it easier to rectify polarity inaccuracies during termination or while double simplex connectors in the field. The distinctive mixture of small sizes and the click of connectivity make the LC Connector a perfect pick for today's high performance networks.

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