The LC connector was developed to meet the growing demand for smaller and easier-to-use fiber optic connectivity. With this connector, space requirements on equipment bays, in distribution panels, and on wall plates has been reduced by 50%, without sacrificing performance.
This document provides an overview of the Molex LC connector system, highlighting its design for smaller footprint applications in telecommunication and data communication. It describes the use of zirconia ceramic ferrules and RJ-45 latching mechanisms to optimize insertion loss performance while accommodating various fiber types and cable jackets.
| Nominal Fiber OD | 125um |
|---|---|
| Insertion Loss (Multimode) | 0.10, .07 dB |
| Return Loss Minimum (Singlemode) | 45 dB |
| Cable Retention | 15 lbs. / 67N |
| Mating Durability | 200 reconnects |
The connectors accommodate both multimode and singlemode fibers.
Yes, the Molex LG connectors are available in both simplex and duplex configurations.
The system uses time tested zirconia ceramic ferrules to terminate the fiber.
