What does LC connector mean?

Lucent Connector
LC stands for Lucent Connector and was developed by Lucent Technologies in the 1990s. LC connector is a small form-factor fiber optic connector and was developed to replace SC connector due to their smaller size.

What is dual LC connector?

Primarily, LC duplex connectors are so small that it has a 1.25mm pin type ferrule. Due to this small ferrule, its body is also designed in a small low cost plastic composition. The body is made of like a miniature RJ45, which means it features a latched mechanism that makes it the most user-friendly connector.

Is LC connector single mode or multimode?

The LC was designed to be a high performance SFF incorporating traditional technology, advances in latching systems, and versatile enough for both single mode and multimode fiber applications. LC connector comes in single mode and multimode tolerances. For single mode, it also features LC/UPC and LC/APC polish.

What are the different fiber connectors?

Types of Fiber Optic Connector

  • LC Multimode.
  • SC Multimode.
  • ST Connector.
  • SC Duplex Coupler.
  • LC Duplex Coupler – note that two LC connectors fit in the same space as one SC.

What is fiber optic LC connector?

The LC connector is a small form factor fiber optic connector. The LC connector resembles a small SC connector. Lucent Technologies first developed the LC connector for TelCo environment uses. Hence, LC stands for Lucent Connectors.

What is LC fiber?

LC is a fiber optic connector, also called Lucent Connector, Little Connector or Local Connector. It was invented by Bell, which makes a significant breakthrough for high density telecommunication. The coupling type of LC fiber optic connector is snap and its ferrule diameter is 1.25 mm.

What is a LC patch?

LC is the short form of Lucent Connector, LC fiber patch cord connector is a push and latch structure, with plastic housing and accurate 1.25mm ceramic ferrule. LC type is a popular kind of small form fiber optic patch cord which reduce the space and it is widely used for densely installation.
