    LC Connector Product Specification

    LC Connector Product Specification


    General Definition: The LC Connector Product is a robust optical connector designed to support Telecom and Datacom networks. The connector family includes but not limited to Jumper Connectors, Behind the Wall connectors (BTW), Adapters, Attenuators, Jumpers and an assortment of connector modules and panels. The connector is defined as the plug portion equipped with a tunable cylindrical ferrule while incorporating unique trigger and latch features. The LC Connector family provides a size reduction relative to traditional connectors, which has coined the term Small Form Factor connectors (SFF). SFF connectors are typically 50% smaller than standard SC and ST fiber products. The LC was designed to be a high performance SFF incorporating traditional technology, advances in latching systems, and versatile enough for both singlemode and multimode fiber applications. Terms of Specification: The specification document is intended to provide users of Yazaki LC Connector products a level of confidence and means of understanding the characteristics of purchased product. The product is designed and intended to be manufactured according to the specification document. The product specification is a fluid document, which is only a guideline as to the features and performance of the product, which are subject to change without notice. Definition of Products: LC 1.5 to 2.0 mm Unibody Connectors for jumpers: Robust connectors designed to mount onto 1.5 to 2.0 mm fiber cordage and intended to meet the Telcordia specification GR326 Type I Media (~3.0mm). Note that exceptions are made based on smaller size and future changes within GR326 for SFF connectors; however, the Unibody connector was designed to meet Section 4.3.5 Transmission with Applied Load for 3.0 mm cord. Simplex and duplex are available. LC 3.0 mm Unibody Connectors for jumpers: Robust connectors designed to mount onto 3.0 mm fiber cordage and intended to meet the Bellcore/Telcordia specification GR326 Type I Media (~3.0mm). Note that exceptions are made based on smaller size and future changes within GR326 for SFF connectors; however, the Unibody connector was designed to meet Section 4.3.5 Transmission with Applied Load for 3.0 mm cord. Simplex and duplex are available. LC BTW Connectors: Shorter LC connectors designed for 0.9 mm buffered fiber. This product is intended to meet Telcordia specification GR326 Type II Media (0.9 mm). LC BTW Unibody Connectors: Robust connectors based on the Unibody connector and equipped to mount onto 0.9 mm buffered fiber and intended to meet the Telcordia specification GR326 Type II Media (0.9 mm). A unique feature; this simplex BTW connector is duplexable! LC Patchcords (Jumpers): Connectorized with 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 or 3.0 mm cordage in various lengths and fiber counts. Jumpers are produced in a vast array of hybrid configurations allowing interconnection between LC based product and other connector styles. These products are intended to meet Telcordia specification GR326 Type I Media. LC Adapters: Two sided port configuration, which holds two LC connectors while providing the alignment mechanism for the cylindrical ferrules. Adapters are designed in simplex, duplex and can be ganged for higher density configurations based on application needs. LC Attenuators: Fixed plug-in style optical attenuators are available in 1-dB steps from 0 to 20 dB, plus 25-dB. These doped-fiber based attenuators are spectrally flat over the 1260 to 1610 nm wavelength range and have precise values. Special values and tolerancing are available on request. Attenuator products are designed to plug into any standard LC adapter. The design is structured from a connector front and a simplex receptacle rear portion, and they are capable of +30 dBm (1W).
