Overview
The LC Fiber Optic Connector is a high-performance, pull-proof connector designed specifically for high-density environments. Featuring a compact 1.25 mm zirconia ferrule, it occupies roughly half the footprint of standard SC connectors, making it an ideal solution for dense patch panel and equipment rack configurations.
Engineered for both singlemode and multimode applications, this connector utilizes a reliable RJ-style push/pull latching mechanism that ensures stable, repeatable connections. The connector body is constructed from durable molded plastic with a square front profile, allowing two simplex units to be clipped together for duplex functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an LC and an SC connector?
The LC connector features a smaller 1.25 mm ferrule, allowing for higher density compared to the 2.5 mm ferrule found on standard SC connectors.
Can these connectors be converted to duplex?
Yes, two simplex LC connectors can be clipped together to create a duplex LC connector assembly.
Are these suitable for multimode fiber?
While this specific pack is designated for singlemode applications, the LC interface itself is commonly used for both singlemode and multimode systems.
What kind of latching mechanism does it use?
It uses an RJ-style latch similar to a standard phone jack, which provides a secure, audible click upon connection.
What is the housing material?
The connector body is manufactured from molded plastic.
