What Is LC Fiber-Optic Cable?

LC type connector is a kind of optical fiber connector, because the appearance size only accounts for half of the SC / ST / FC connector, so it is a type of small connector type (SFF). LC type connectors are widely used in integrated wiring system engineering.

LC

(Fiber Optic Connector Type)

Right!

LC type connector is a kind of optical fiber connector, because the appearance size only accounts for half of the SC / ST / FC connector, so it is a type of small connector type (SFF). LC type connectors are widely used in integrated wiring system engineering.

The LC connector is a type of fiber optic connector researched and developed by the well-known Bell Institute. It is made with a modular jack (RJ) latching mechanism that is easy to operate. The size of the pins and sleeves used is half of the size used by ordinary SC, FC, etc., and is 1.25mm. This can increase the density of the fiber connectors in the fiber distribution frame. At present, in the single-mode SFF, the LC type connector has actually occupied a dominant position, and its application in the multi-mode aspect has also grown rapidly.

The LC connector type has been adopted by the IEC standard, and the relevant standard number is: IEC 61754-20 ^[1]
