The LC connector licensed by Lucent Technologies provides a pull-proof design and small size perfect for high-density applications. This Fiber Optic LC Connector features a 1.25 mm zirconia ferrule that is about half the size of the standard SC ferrule. The LC provides good performance and is favored for both singlemode and multimode fiber optic applications. The LC also incorporates a unique latching mechanism that provides stability in system rack mounts. This fiber optic connector's body is made of moulded plastic, and features a square front profile. An RJ-style latch, similar to a phone jack, on the top of the connector provides easy, repeatable connections. Two simplex LC connectors may be clipped together to form a duplex LC fiber optic connector. The small size and push-in connections of LC fiber optic connectors make them an excellent choice for high-density applications, and for cross connects. The LC stands for Lucent Connector.
