LC Connector Family
Lightera listened to our customers, and responded by delivering the next generation fiber optic LC Connector Solution for private and public networks. The LC Connector Solution was developed in response to customer needs for smaller and easier-to-use fiber optic connectivity. Lightera Labs created a solution that reduces the space required on panels, outlets, and in closets by 50% throughout the network.
It simplifies moves, adds, and changes and saves you money. The LC Connector uses an improved version of the familiar, user-friendly telephone plug, which provides a reassuring, audible click when engaged. The unique combination of small size and the click of connectivity makes the LC Connector the right choice for your network.
Designed to work together, the LC Solution is a complete family of products designed to offer the optimal, high-density solution for private and public networks. The LC Solution is Telcordia, ANSI/EIA/TIA and IEC compliant.
The LC fiber optic family consists of:
- Field Mountable Connectors
- Simplex Patchcords
- Duplex Patchcords
- Hybrid Patchcords
- Pigtails
- Duplex Adapters
- Simplex Adapters
- LIU and LGX® Panels
- Collar with adapters for MULTIMAX Panel and Outlets
- Tool and Consumable Kits

LC Connector
The LC Connector, developed by Lightera Laboratories, represents the next generation small form factor (SFF) connector. The LC Connector Solution reduces the space required on panels, outlets and in closets by approximately 50% throughout the network. It simplifies moves, adds and changes and helps save you money. The LC Connector uses an improved version of the familiar, user-friendly RJ-style telephone plug that provides a reassuring, audible click when engaged. The new, one-piece design enhances the connector’s durability and meets side-load requirements of standard 2.5 mm connectors. The connector can only be installed into the adapter in one orientation thus maintaining proper polarization and alignment. The straight-in motion significantly reduces debris and enhances optical performance. The unique combination of small size and the click of connectivity make our LC Connector the right choice for today’s high performance networks.
Two versions are available. The jumper connector is designed for 1.6 to 2.0 mm cordage. A trigger as well as the standard latch make the jumper connector easy to engage and disengage. The behind-the-wall (BTW) version is designed to mount on 0.9 mm buffered fiber. The BTW version uses finger catch and extended latch to make the LC easy to engage and disengage.
The LC Connector is easily field mountable and all of the tools necessary are contained in the 1032B kit combined with the D182959 upgrade kit. The upgrade kit contains a microscope adapter, polishing tool and connector holders. Consumable kits containing enough material to mount approximately 200 connectors (not included) are available for both the multimode and single-mode connectors. Order a D182983 consumable epoxy kit for multimode connectors, or the D182977 consumable epoxy kit when using single-mode connectors.
