LC Fiber Optic Connectors
SPECIFICATION SHEET
specifications
LC small form factor (SFF) field polish connectors with
rear pivot latch shall be TIA/EIA-604 FOCIS-10
compatible. LC simplex and duplex connectors shall be
field terminable. The fibers shall terminate in 1.25mm
ceramic ferrules with non-optical disconnect functionality
and an average insertion loss of 0.1dB per mated pair
for multimode and singlemode fiber.

key features and benefits
Rear pivot latch design,
robust construction
Anti-snag latch
Wide “positive grip”
thumb latch
Audible “click” upon
successful mating
Field installable duplex
clip with integrated
polarity markers
One connector body
design for both simplex
and duplex applications
Protective cap locks onto
connector latch with
audible “click”
Anaerobic adhesive
field installation
Rugged body construction
Independent free-floating
ferrules
1.25mm ceramic ferrules
Longer beam reduces deflection during mating and unmating
to reduce latch fatigue, leading to longer cycle life
Low profile latch resists cable snagging
Multi-grooved, full body width thumb latch improves grip for
better control during matings/unmatings; promotes fast, easy
MACs (moves, adds, changes) in high-density applications
Provides user with a definitive signal of successful
connector mating
Allows fast, easy field polarity changes without tools; quick
identification of polarity
A single connector design is used for both simplex
and duplex patch cords and inside the wall applications to
simplify installation
Protective cap automatically locks onto connector latch,
completely covering connector end; prevents ferrule end face
damage by providing protection from contamination and impact
Simplifies and reduces installation time by 50% compared to
heat cured epoxy terminations; curing oven/time not required
Stable performance under side loads for improved reliability
Ensures physical fiber contact for consistent low return loss,
unlike unitary multi-fiber ferrule connectors
Provide the highest durability for repeated matings

transmissions. The high-density design and
1.25mm ferrules double the port density
(compared to SC connectors) to reduce space
requirements on racks, enclosures, panels
and faceplates.
