LC Connectors, Adapters, and Cable Assemblies

Molex's LC connectors reduce space requirements by 50% over 2.5 mm ferrule connectors without sacrificing performance. LC connectors are available in industry-standard beige (multi-mode), blue (single-mode), and green (angle polish) colors, and will accommodate 900 µm buffered fiber, 1.6 mm, 2 mm, or 3 mm jacketed cable. With its 6-position tuning feature, the connector may be used to achieve unprecedented insertion loss performance by optimizing the alignment of the fiber cores. Additionally, 45° and 90° boot options are available for 1.6 mm and 2 mm jacketed cable.

8-port, quad, duplex, and simplex LC mating adapters are available in blue, beige, green, and aqua colors. The adapters are available in snap-mount or screw-mount configurations, ceramic or metal alignment sleeves, and can also be provided with safety shutters on one or both sides to help prevent eye injuries. Loopback adapters are also available for testing SFF and SFP devices in numerous applications.

Tight-jacketed cable LC connectors are designed with an elongated internal ferrule plug which allows the fiber to move in tandem with the internal plug, thereby reducing the potential for micro bends, increased insertion loss, and fiber breakage.
