LC Optical Connector

Connector

The LC connector was the first small form factor connector on the market. The use of a high performance 1.25 mm ferule gives the connector extremely high performance characteristics.

The FiberFab LC optical fiber connector comprises of a polymer body and a ceramic ferrule/spring/crimp barrel assembly plus a crimp over sleeve and rubber boot. These connectors are suitable for 900µm and 2 mm cables. The connector is precision made and manufactured to demanding specifications. The combination of a ceramic ferrule and a precision polymer housing provides consistent long-term mechanical and optical performance.

FiberFab has 15 years experience in manufacturing fiber optic connectors and cable assemblies. From Biconic and SMA through ST, SC to today’s Small Form Factor connectors like the LC, MU or MT-RJ . If you have a fiber network, no matter what the technology FiberFab can offer you a solution to your problem.

FiberFab has full ISO9001 on all of its manufacturing facilities, so you can be confident you are using the very best in cable, connectors and manufacturing.

Specification:

The LC connector was the first small form factor connector on the market. It can be seen extensively in the local area network closet as a standard fit to many market leading hubs and switches. The LC sets the standard for small form factor connectors.

The FiberFab LC connector are manufactured using the best quality components. The connectors exceeds all areas of the standards covering optical fiber connectors.
