Frequently Asked Questions
What does the LC/APC designation mean?
It indicates an LC connector with an Angled Physical Contact polish, which is used to significantly reduce back-reflection in sensitive optical networks.
Are these connectors compatible with standard fusion splicers?
Yes, they are compatible with most leading industry fusion splicers, though specific handler tools may be required.
Do I need a separate splice tray for these?
No, these are designed to provide internal splice protection within the connector body itself.
Can these be used for outdoor environments?
They are rated for operation between -40°C and 75°C, making them suitable for many varied field environments.
Are these field-installable?
Yes, these are specifically engineered as field-installable connectors to speed up installation and repair processes.
